ppbus problem update edited by me (Greg) informing Mr. Souchu of results. Using ppbus, I got this dmesg and system would just hang when I tried fdisk. ppc0 at 0x278 irq 12 flags 0x1 on isa ppc0: Generic chipset in NIBBLE mode plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 vpo0: <Adaptec aic7110 scsi> on ppbus 0 scbus0 at vpo0 bus 0 sd0 at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 sd0: <IOMEGA ZIP 100 D.13> type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd0: Direct-Access sd0: UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 sd0: Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed 862MB (196608 4592 byte sectors) >Nicolas Souchu wrote: > > I suspect data corruption...

I don't remeber the boot message when I booted without the disk, but fdisk still hung. I did not get "medium not present". I've since built a kernel with ppa3. I'm having better luck with that. Of four disks, I was able to fdisk all of them, mount and ls 2 of them (the other 2 I could apparently mount, but they showed nothing on ls and I know there's stuff there) and copied some stuff from one to my hard drive. These were all msdos formatted. I couldn't disklabel any of them. Something about no available space. Anyway thanks for all the help. I'm willing to keep trying with ppbus, if you have any other ideas. Greghome | help
