It is an IDE internal 100Mb ZIP drive. (dmesg | grep ZIP displays-> hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI DRIVE, ATAPI FLOPPY drive)
When hdd=scsi is removed, system still tries to access it as scsi drive. What is the option for this drive to be treated as ide/atapi drive? hdd=ide and hdd=atapi are treated as BAD options by the kernel. -ishwar On Tue, 25 May 2004, Alex Malinovich wrote: > On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 09:47, Ishwar Rattan wrote: > > System is Debian testing (kernel 2.6.5) installed from Knoppix-3.4 > > The PC has a 100Mb ZIP drive in it. > > > > It is detected at boot time (dmesg -> hdd). > > > > Lilo.conf has option hdd=scsi in it.. > > > > Attempt to mount the disks in it as > > > > # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/test > > results in: > > mount: /dev/sda4 is not valid block device > > similar messge when /dev/hdd4 is mounted. > > You didn't say what type of connection the drive is using, but judging > by the fact that you said that the drive is 'in' the computer (and that > it's being detected as hdd), I'm guessing that it's an internal IDE > drive.
