Hi, Does any one have a SCSI zip & SCSI zip accelerator card and were able to get these recognized during installation?
I am trying to repartion & reinstall debian 1.3, and seem to get through most steps except getting the ZIP drive to work. I also notice that after each step of the installation a message in the background saying that my cdrom tray is open. It is not. Having gone through the installation a couple times, I know I can mount the CDROM drive once the installation is complete. I don't know if there is an IRQ conflict between the CDROM and the SCSI. I wonder about this because I have an IDE Mitsumi CDROM drive and when I try to install these drivers command-line options are preset to: mc mcd=0X300,11,0X304,5 (as the io and irq pairs). Installation of both the mcd & mcdx fail, messages say 'device or resource busy.' However, if I just choose plain cdrom, this installation is successful and after installation I can access the CDROM ok. Noting that SCSI zip irq's are preset to irq 11, I changed the IRQ on the zip, then tried to go through again with the installation but this also didn't work. I have tried putting a zip disk into the zip drive to see if that helps detection but I still get 0 scsi hosts detected. Are there any other steps in the installation where I need to make sure there is SCSI support? i.e. in configuring device modules, am I supposed to use one of those four controllers? or, install PPA? I didn't think I needed PPA since it is not a parallel Zip drive. Is my only option to build a new kernel? If you can cc'me I would appreciate it.
