Doug and Jason, I answered my own question. Downloaded 2.2.16-8 from rawhide and all seems to be well. The Sound module complains about unresolved symbols, similarly to what's mentioned on Jason's megapatch page, but it works anyway ;-) Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Robert Grunlo

Thanks Jason. I'm not very kernel-literate but I'll try to help with diagnostics if needed. My install is stock except for adding helix and vmware. I see the rawhide site has kernel 2.2.16-8, I wonder if that would be worth a try. On Thu, 6 Jul 2000, Jason Costomiris wrote: > Yes, I'm seeing it

Thanks to all thise who offered advice. The final working solution was to use: /sbin/insmod parport /sbin/insmod parport_pc /sbin/insmod ppa and variations on: mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip or associated entries in /etc/fstab to allow user access. Vik :v) -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL

I've noticed that since I upgraded to RH6.1 (kernel 2.2.12-20) my parallel port ZIP drive has stopped working. I read on usenet that I should use: insmod parport insmod ppa insmod lp but there's a snag: parport says that it can't detect any devices and so the subsequent commands are as much use
