It's not a bug, it's a typo and a misunderstanding. It's alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc not alias parport_lowlevel paraport_pc As for the ZIP drive, ATAPI zip drives don't need ppa. ppa is for parallel port zip drives. Looking at your kernel output, your zip drive is recognized correctly, and is available as /dev/hdd. The problem is probably iomega's weird partitioning. If you want to mount a zip disk that was formatted using their tool in DOS or Windoze, it's /dev/hdd4 instead of /dev/hdd1, for whatever reason. |
I have a 722C HP printer and a APTI IDE Zip drive and I don't think that my parralel port and my SCSI emulation is setup correctly or at least I have tried what every one has suggested and I still can't get my printer or Zip drive working. I have put these two together because I think the problems are related. I have also tried a 560C HP, which you support(same result). Here is what I have done: I have 5 Items below: Thanks in advance for your help. 1) I have configured my Kernel this way.
