Starting sometime around 2.0.33 kernel, I have had to put append="hdc=cdrom" in lilo.conf. My home system has both an internal zip and a cdrom. I have to use the append line whether there is a zip drive present or not. It just seems to get the cdrom wrong. Just give it a hint in lilo.conf and things will be ok.
My zip looks like a hard disk. I don't know if it is an ide floppy or not. I believe the imation(sp?) 120mb superdisk is an ide floppy. jim >---------- >From: Kent West[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 1999 10:40 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; debian-user@lists.debian.org >Cc: The recipient's address is unknown. >Subject: Re: ATAPI CDROM problem (NEC-260) > >At 12:04 AM 1/19/1999 -0800, Terry Hancock wrote: >>Apparently the OS is making an incorrect assumption >>about the identity of the device and then failing >>because of it.
