I went to figure out how to load it, so I did, modprobe Sym53c416, I get this: [root@booga bob]# modprobe sym53c416 /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c416.o.gz: init_module: Operation not permitted Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c416.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c416.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c416.o.gz: insmod sym53c416 failed [root@booga bob]# What did I do wrong?

[newbie] ScanJet 4c
Being that I am coming from a limited FreeBSD back ground, I am haveing some trouble with another device. I now have a ScanJet 4c with the SCSI card that came with it from HP. I am running LM 8.1.

Re: [newbie] USB smart media reader

I have been reading this thread because I have a USB microtech compact flash card reader and I have been having the same problem attempting to mount it as others have. Here's the information from Harddrake: Vendor: eUSB Model: Compact Flash Device: /dev/sda Bus Type: SCSI Capacity: 1047 MB Heads: 64 Sectors: 32 Cylinders: 1023 Here's my fstab entry: /dev/sda /media/camera vfat ro,noauto,user 0 0 This is the response I get when attempting to mount this device: mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/camera mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems I hope someone can shed some light on why this won't mount. Thanks for the help. TC Dont mount as /dev/sda, mount as /dev/sda1. /dev/sda is the, as I see it, top of the sda device list, the header, and sda1, sda2, are the devices. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Card Reader Other USB Devices
On Thursday 27 December 2001 14:59, you wrote: I'm getting closer - I think. I can plug in my various USB devices, and the Control Center shows some of them as disks: the Card Reader at /dev/sda and the camera (Olympus C700; great performer, btw) at /dev/sdb. The Teleport USB modem shows up when I use UsbView, but I haven't spotted it yet under Control Center. Anyway: when I try to mount (as root) the camera or the card reader, as in: mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/camera, I get this in return: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems. Any hints or suggestions? I have a feeling that the usb modem is falling into the Other Devices black hole. It's funny that UsbView finds and identifies it, and Control Center doesn't. I hope that someone steers me in the right direction so that I can use these things. It's tough being a Linux evangelist when you can't get the system to let you use something, and yet it's automatically loaded in Windows!

I am installing PowerChute Plus, from APC, for my Back-UPS.
