I'm having trouble getting my question answered, if I am not explaining my problem correctly would you please tell me what else I should post so that someone would answer me? thanks.
<REPOST> I'm trying to run a scsi zip, but when I go to load the scsi module: >modprobe sd_mod I get a long pause during which my console spits out this: ======================================================================== Sep 2 12:34:48 quimney kernel: scsi : 1 host.

The above reports something about sda but I cannot mount that. The console reports errors similar to the above ones. The last line of the above reads that its "unable to read partition table", what does that mean? is it scsi error? a kernel/module error? help... -marlon -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
