I recently installed 7.3 prof. in my HP Pavilion 6490 which has a superdisk (LS120) drive. Now I am no longer able to read my diskettes. I went to the log file "/var/log/boot.msg" to find the drive and, sure enough, it was there under "hdc=LS-120 slim04..." Them I went to "/dev" and the file "hdc" was there too. Then I create a "ls120" folder in "/media". Next I went to "/etc/fstab" deleted the line that had the floppy, and add the following:"/dev/hdc /media/ls120 auto noauto,user,sync 0 0". After that I restart the computer, inserted a diskette and typed: "mount -t auto /dev/hdc /mnt" which gave me "I could not determmine the fs type, and none was specified" ????? I would appreciate if anyone can give me some hints to solve this problem
I don't have an ls120 to play with, but your mount statement using "auto" may not be working. I'm not familiar with automount, but you told fstab that you wanted the ls120 to be mounted on /media/ls120, then you try to automount it on /mnt.???? Why not try a manual mount like: mount -t msdos /dev/hdc /media/ls120 put whatever your ls120 is formatted with in there for msdos
