Don't even bother to compile support for zip drives into the kernel. They have to be loaded modularly. Read http://howto.linuxberg.com/ptHOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive and check out http://www.torque.net/~campbell/, you can grab the driver you need to compile from the second link. Recompile the kernel

Your getting that error because you also need to compile SCSI support into the kernel, it relies on some code in those drivers and needs that to be compiled in, it will not work if you try to load it as a module. CatNTHat >Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 08:52:31 -0700 >From: "Norma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The CD-Rom is the secondary slave because of where it is on the cable. You want your new hard drive to be the primary slave in the system. You do not want to move you CD-Rom to the Primary slave position. The position it is currently in is actually the best for future upgrades and additions o

I seem to remember something about there was a limitation in that you had to have linux booting off one of the first two drive but that may no longer be true. I would recommend reading the howto and man pages for lilo. You would see improved performance with the swap on a different drive becau
