After pounding my head against the wall for the past day and 1/2, I've
given up and am presenting my problem before y'all (trying to save what
hair I have left).
I have been trying to get an internal (infernal) Zip drive to act as a
data storage device (not boot) for LRP 2.9.8, (used root_22.lrp to
upgrade from 20). I have been compiling the 2.2.19 kernel with the LRP
patch & OW4 patches. I have tried both scsi.o with ide-scsi.o and
ide-floppy.o compiled into the kernel, and in both cases I can't read
the partition table.
I have tried using both
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt,
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4 /mnt
and
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt
The sda4 version usually complains that the drive is not a block
device. The hdc version complains that it cannot read the partition
table. I have heard that the zip partition table is on sector 1, and
the zip drive tries to read it off of sector 0 - I need a vfat format -
is there any way to get around this?
I have heard that the zip may have been broken around 2.2.14.
Any help would be appreciated,
Jon
