Just a note to everyone. With SCSI support, parport_pc, and ppa in a 2.2.14 kernel -- I get a kernel OOPS. Bad juju! It appears the error occurs when the SCSI system tries to read the disk. It times out, then tries to dereference a NULL pointer and kablooey!. (Note: same outcome with gcc-2.95 and gcc-2.7.3). Perhaps those subtle SCSI bugs haven't all been fixed in this version. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
