Dear Matthew: If you are using insmod for your zip drive, switch to a much better command: modprobe ppa mount /mnt/zip This way you'll never have those symbolic link error messages. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net

An easier way is to use "modprobe ppa" This way, modprobe will load all the modules that ppa depends on. On Thu, 28 Oct 1999, you wrote: > Need to do an insmod parallel or something like that to load the > parallel port driver first. > Travis

[expert] insmod ppa failure
I'm attempting to run "insmod ppa" to start the ZIP Drive driver. My Zip drive is installed on LPT1. When I execute "insmod ppa" at the command prompt I get the following: /lib/modules/2.2.9-27.mdk/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol paraport_release_Rcdfb4d19 /lib/modules/2.2.9-27.mdk/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol paraport_unregister_device_R528dbb47 /lib/modules/2.2.9-27.mdk/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol paraport_register_device_R2c1b9116 /lib/modules/2.2.9-27.mdk/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol paraport_claim_R4664b1b5 /lib/modules/2.2.9-27.mdk/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved sumbol parapport_enumerate_R52981eea I know that simply putting "insmod ppa" and then "mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/zip" worked in RH6.0. Can anyone help me? SCSI Support and the ZIP Parallel module are kernel compiled as modules. OS is Mandrake 6.0 on Kernetl 2.2.9-27MDK -- Jason

When > i hit alt-f3 it says running:/bin/insmod /bin/insmod > /modules/loop.o insmod failed I ran into a problem like this when I was trying to download RedHat 6.0 (now running Mandrake 6.1) from an ftp site. Snurfing around, I finally found an answer to my problem. The partitioning is OK, it is where those partitions are located on the Hard Disk. As far as I know, there is no linux loader that can load Linux from beyond the 1023 cyl on any given hard disk (goes by raw harddisk data, not LBA). To fix this problem (and it worked) I reparitioned my drive using Partition Magic 3.04 - moving the unformatted partition to the front of my harddisk, moving my Windows 98 to a spot farther back in my drive. Re-wrote the partition table, (and since the Windows 98 was still the active and bootable partition) rebooted into Windows98 and ran Windows for a day or so no problems. Then grabbed a copy of MaximumLinux mag from my local 7-11 /w a copy of Mandrake 6.0. Booted directly from CDROM, used fdisk utility to set up my partitions (same as you - aprox 1.8Gigs and swap of 120Megs). Set the Linux partiton as active/bootable, installed properly and I was one happy man. I've been switching from Win98 and Linux no prob. I hope it helps!

Re: [expert] insmod failed
JasI'm certainly not an expert on this, but if I ran into your problem I'd delete the 1872 mb and the 128 mb partitions and then make a 10-24 meg linux native partition with a mount point of /boot and then re-make those other two partitions you made previously. The mount point of the 1800 mb one should be / Alan "Jaswinder S.

To whom it may concern, I tried posting the following message on the newbie list about a week ago and it looks like no one knows of a possible solution so i though i'd try posting to the expert list. I have been trying to install mandrake 6.1. I used fips to repartition my 8 gb hard disk into a 6gb partition and a 2gb partition. I then used disk druid in the install to delete the 2gb partition and create two more partitions (1872 mb partition of type linux native and a 128 mb partition of type swap). During the installation process it asks "would you like to create a boot disk for your system?" I answer yes and it says "an error occurred during the step "create bootdisk of the install." It asks me if i want to go to the previous step, retry , or go to the install menu. When i hit alt-f3 it says running:/bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/loop.o insmod failed When i skip this step (due to frustration) i go on to the lilo installation step. The above occurs again. I choose Master boot record as the place to install lilo, i choose windows as the default and i hit ok. I get the same error message as above "an error has occured during the step "install lilo."" I hit alt-f3 and again it says, running:/bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/loop.o insmod failed any suggestions? Any help you could offer would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Jas
