Dear friends:
I have a very minor but annoying configuration problem occasioned by the
installation of my new USB 100 meg zip drive. I have configured it
correctly, and it works perfectly well using supermount. I had
previously installed a Netgear 4 port 10/100 hub. I had no problem with
the login until I installed the new zip drive.
The problem is simply that when booting into Linux, I cannot
automatically get to a login screen. Instead, I get information about my
zip drive and hub and then the boot process just stops (hangs). That is,
I then need to type Cnt + C, which takes me to a login screen. No big
deal, but I am just curious what could be causing this.
Here is the data:
1) This is what I get upon booting into Linux (along with the Penguin
and the usual LM72 info to the right of the Penguin):
LM7.2 for (Odyssey) i586
Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk
sher login: scsi0: scsi emulation for USB Mass Storage devices.
scsi: host
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: Zip100 Rev: 44.w
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detect4ed scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id0, lun0
scsi device sda: hdwr sector=512 bytes, Sectors=196608 [96MB][0.1GB]
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: unknown partition table
hub.c: already running port1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
2) fstab and mtab -- see attached files.

Thank you all so very much.
