Some thoughts ... Is the ide-scsi module being loaded at boot time (places to look: output of lsmod and dmesg, proper "append=" line(s) in /etc/lilo.conf and/or "kernel" line(s) in /boot/grub/menu.lst)? If not, add in the appropriate entry in whichever of the above two files pertains to your bootloader, run /sbin/lilo (if it's lilo that you use), and reboot. If your Zip is connected as hdc, let's say, you'll want: /etc/lilo.conf: append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi" /boot/grub/menu.lst: kernel blahblahblahblahblahblah devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi (Care to guess which loader I've used more frequently? <G>) If the above is in order, is the drive being properly detected (output of "cdrecord -scanbus" should be useful here)? If all that checks out, then your symlink target is probably something like /dev/sda4 or /dev/sdb4 (which would in itself be a symlink to one of those cryptic /dev/scsi/blah/blah/blah/blah/part4 type of entries). This is off the top of my head, I'm afraid, as I have no scsi-emulated devices here on the 9.0 box to use as a reference ... :( HTH! -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." - George Bernard Shaw
