Hi
I few days ago someone posted a fix for the system hanging on
machines with the Gateway DVD and LS120 combination. Mentioned
commenting out two lines in some file... and I can't find the post. Could
someone foward me the post, or point me to the URL of the archives?
(sorry this post
Hello
I am trying to setup LS 120 on V7 Release 15 of Linux but I am having
some problems setting this up. What can be done to help me.

ok. i finally got it working with some gritting. added the "hdc=ide-floppy"
into the grub menu.lst and then had to use the "command line" and NOT the kde
floppy icon (kde floppy icon is a script file but which one can specify
filesystem type etc...makes life easier when one can use this icon!)
still having problems with ls120. seems that it's just a requirement that the
kernel must get rebuilt for it to work.
i did take note that the ide-floppy.o wasn't loaded, so even after a modprobe
ide-floppy didn't activate it.
also, ls120 seems to work best with umsdos if one is working with b

Could it be that LS120 behaves diferently when it has a "normal" floppy in
it (showing up as /dev/hdb), from when it gets a "LS-120" floppy (showing
up as /dev/hdb1)?
Pixel, what did you test this beast with: normal floppies, LS120
floppies or both?

Well, looks as if supermount ain't going to work for me. As such, need the old
"floppy mount" program for the kde desktop. It was in the 6.0 version and had
more menus rather than just an entry for the "/mnt/fd0". One could specify
the mount location, filesystem type, etc. instead of having to
BTW, it does appear that the ls120 is able to use the hdd optimizations
(since it is an ide drive).
Am i correct on this? The one stipulation is that the drive does NEED
to have a disk in it at "startup time" of the mdk o/s, or else it will
return an error during the hdd optimization script. (W

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).

(think i'll be rebuilding the kernel to see if that helps)
Doing "xcdroast" the ls120 shows up in the scsi devices because of the
append="hdc=ide-scsi" in lilo!
Because of this, i would pressume that the ls120 is now, also, a ide-scsi
device, right!?!

with the recent rsync and the following in fstab:
/mnt/ls120 /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/hdd 0 0
and redirecting teh desktop icon to the /mnt/ls120 folder (of course)
I am still getting errors when trying to mount my ls120. Don't know if i did
get it to mount once, don't think so wi
I just tried using my rescue diskettes (for which i also find very little info
on "how to create them or how to use them" anymore!) but the ls120 doesn't work
well with the 2 diskettes. It wants the user to insert the second diskette but
hangs at that point. Obviously it's searching the /dev/fd0
Using a "LS120" Superdisk drive cannot be used for rescue disk purposes still
on mdk 7.0!
There is a kernel patch which needs to be built into the kernel on my
last search for this.
Other than that, a user only has access to the disk drive after changing the
fstab (or mtab also) for xserver desk
Hmm.. This seems to be a bad bug with supermount and some of the ide devices. I
have this happen at school where I put supermount on machines with IDE zip
drives. When I try changing into the directory it just blows up It
basically prints out a bunch of registers and clears the screan and gene
Supermount works differently. The device and the mountpoints are always the
same. so instad of
/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/hdd 0 0
you should do
/mnt/ls120 /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/hdd 0 0
becareful there is no space after the comma too...

Well, placed the following into fstab (to recognize the ls120):
/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=vfat, dev=/dev/hdd 0 0
but when clicking on the floppy icon (on user desktop) it displayed a "blank
window" (hence, showing no files on the a: drive).
