The same problem bugged me too. When i tried to mount my ide zip drive i got the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: ide-floppy: hdc: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 5, asc = 21, ascq = 0 Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:04 (hdc), sector 0 Mar 19 22:50:22 falcon kernel: FAT bread failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The solution that worked for me is: - check under windows if the zip drive gets the B: drive. - than change in your bios the setting of your zip drive from floppy to harddisk. Motherboard: AsusP3B-F Bios 1004 The default setting is auto which is floppy...... Maybe a oversite in the ide-floppy module...... "Peter B. Van Campen" wrote:
Hi to ALL,
I have had the same problem on SuSE 7.1 on two different machines. I have posted to this list a couple of times about 7.1 inability to mount removable media.
I get the same error msg from MOUNT that you have posted. I have both SCSI read/write magneto optical drives and LS-120 super floppy drives.
These drives work perfectly on these machines when I boot them with W98se or W-NT4, but when I boot 7.1 I cannot mount them; I get the same error msg from MOUNT.
But I have tried something new. I have booted from the #2 cd of the SuSE 6.3 install media; Under install YAST 1 of 6.3 these drives are recognized properly, but once I boot back to 7.1 MOUNT still rejects them.
Can anyone please help us?????????????

Sure, I have one both at home and at work and both perfectly. What does 'fdisk -l /dev/hdX' (replace hdX with the correct name) say (of course this needs a ZIP disk in the drive)?
Disk /dev/hdd: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd4 * 1 96 98288 6 FAT16
The odd thing is, that I have tried to mount /dev/hdd4 with no success.
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /zip
does not seem to work for me. It worked with 6.4, but when I run it here I get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
What am I missing?
