I have a problem and it is not really related to debian, but it is preventing me form an installing potato. I was using my pcmcia zip drive just fine before and now something is screwed up. When pcmcia starts everything looks O.K., but when I plug in the card I get nothing, no beeps or any of that good stuff that I used to get. So looked in /var/log/messages and modprobe syas "can't locate module block-major-33" which is of course the ide interface that the zip uses. I think somehow the loop back device for this is dead locked (I have been searching for some help with google and this is what I came up with). How the hell do I get it to work again. I have been using this thing fine up until about 20 minutes or so ago. I want to transfer the base2_2.tgz from my laptop to a zip disk, but now I can't. This sucks.
