Here it is again. PC also has a CD-RW drive (internal ATAPI) and the install lilo.conf append line was:
append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi \ hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce " and allowed CD-RW to work using ide-scsi interface?? So, on suggestion I tried the append options to: append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off nomce " and I have the samne problem (mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a valid block device) There seems to be an entry for /dev/hhd4 # /dev | grep hdd4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 68 Apr 14 2001 hdd4 And also for /dev/sda4 (has no meaning here) # ll /dev | grep sda4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 14 2001 sda4 I am unable to figure out the solution.. -ishwar On Tue, 25 May 2004, Alex Malinovich wrote: > On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 13:04, Ishwar Rattan wrote: > > 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. > > I'm not sure what you mean by this.
