Well, this confirms it. i finally got around to rebuilding the kernel of mdk
7.0 (iso-2 release) and building the ide-floppy.o module into the kernel
instaed of loading it as a "module" has solved my problems. i can now
successfully read from the ls120 (www.superdrive.com - i think it is).
please fix this if possible.
what was the exact pb?
People with similar problems in the mdk public newsgroup. in the cooker/beta, it
works. but in the final release of 7.0-2, it did not. I recompiled the ide-floppy
into the kernel instead of "as module" and it now works.
I have a ls120 10 centimeters away from my left hand, and it works quite
nicely?!
anyway, there are a lot of pb with ls120: mkbootdisk fails (needs adding
"disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" and replace the root=/dev/fd0 of the "rescue" label
(usefull?))
"disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" under the "rescue" in lilo, right? i was looking for that
kernel fix for the mkbootdisk, but lost it. will try this too, today.
i've patched DrakX to work more properly: good entry in fstab (with or without
supermount), mkbootdisk handling is now ok. If only mkbootdisk'd work :)
i've got the supermount in now, but froze the o/s (as root) when placing the mouse
over the floppy icon (when url pointed to /mnt/ls120) and right clicking. bummer
will fiddle with it today.
i wonder what is the best solution for this nasty ls120? i wonder if anyone ever
use it partionned. Seems strange kernel handling as for me. It'd be better on
fd0
Partitioned? lol. not here. too small and slow compared to my other hdd's. better
for backing up linux files tho'.
thanx. (see mdk public newsgroup for similar problems -- a reproducable bug)
