Re: zip disks unreadable

I'm confused by your message. You use /dev/sda4 with a parallel port zip drive? Is "insmod ppa" only for parallel port zip drives, or for scsi too? Mine is scsi. I have exactly one scsi device (the zip drive) and have in the past used /dev/sda. Do the disks normally come preformatted with four

Re: zip disks unreadable

Macs can read zip disks in either mac format or msdos format (as preformatted, though not as formatted under Linux). So the interchangeability options that I seem to have right now are either mac & w95 or else linux & w95 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the format on zip / jazz disks OS

zip disks unreadable

I have some IBM preformatted (msdos format) zip disks. I'm able to store files onto them using a mac at work. But I'm then unable to read them under Linux -- something like a bad supernode or something. If under Linux I make an msdos file system on the zip disk, I'm able to read and write to the

sound

I've found that when I user Windows95 and then boot to Linux, that /proc/interrupts shows a sound blaster under IRQ5, and that dmesg doesn't turn up any sound errors. Nothing is listed under IRQ5 when I boot directly to Linux, and dmesg shows a sound initialization problem. I have PnP disabled, so

modem again

Using the /dev/ttyS* devices at least minicom will run. But I still can't dial out. /proc/interrupts does not show the modem, or IRQ9, which is the IRQ of the modem according to Windows 95. The kernel has generic serial support. So I'm still a bit confused. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

I tried using my modem, but discovered that I have no /dev/modem or /dev/cua*. A look through the kernel config options didn't turn up anything obviously related to modems, so I'm a bit confused. I'm runing Debian 1.3, and have a Xircom Ethernet+Modem PCMCIA card that seems to work under Windows 9

Has anyone had success getting sound to work with a Yamaha OPL3-SA on a laptop? The HowTo lists the Yamaha OPL3, but my lack of success has me wondering if the OPL3-SA is different somehow. I pretty consistently get the boot-time error message sb: Interrupt test on IRQ5 failed - device disabled

I'd suggest building and installing your kernel using the kernel-package package. The basic sequence is 'make config', run make-kpkg to build the kernel and make a Debian package from it, and then use dpkg to install the kernel. When I did "make-kpkg --zimage buildpackage" I eventuall
