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?????????????
Check with "lsmod" that the kernel module ide-floppy is loaded. If not try loading it with "modprobe ide-floppy".
