How can I find it? the old insmod imm doesn't do anything now, presumably because it's built into the kernel but . . . the drive does activate during the boot process when it is found but the boot.msg doesn't tell me where it is. It mentions an scsi0 and sda. I've tried /dev/sda with no effect. Any suggestions? David __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

So I would suggest reading your /etc/fstab your zip prolly is pointed to the wrong device. David wrote:

** Reply to message from Carl Johnson <cjs@mcn.net> on Fri, 29 Dec 2000 08:27:06 -0700 Don't ask me where I read this, but scsi devices seem to have a logical partition (sda1) and the filesystem and thus data is at sdax, a later partition. On my zip the device is sdb4. I have an ORB 2.2 Gb removable scsi and it is sda5. In Webmin>Hardiware>Partitions on local drives, /dev/sda is the ORB with 2 partitions, sda1 and sda5 and /dev/sdb is the Zip with 1 partition,sdb4. df shows ORB is 30% in use on sda5, no mention of sda1; Zip is 42% in use on sdb4, no mention of sdb1. I have always seen these device names under several kernels. Hope this helps.
