Although I can operate my internal ATAPI-IDE Zip drive, at boot up I get the message "fs type not supported by kernel". I found this instruction somewhere about doing something to the kernel in configuring it to recognize the drive. "Do _not_ use the "IDE FLOPPY" option (officially the name is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY ). This will work perfectly for reading and writing, but it will not work for ejecting. What you need to do is say yes to the option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI. When this is set, you will treat the IDE ATAPI drive just like a SCSI drive, except without the SCSI card and all that other garbage......" Would anyone know what command/program I must run in order to access the above mentioned options? Am running Mandrake 6. Michael Coady
