Perhaps some > boot vars? Well, this isn't going to be super helpful to you, but I did want to offer you some consolation. I had a paraport zip on a 4.7-RELEASE system. This one of course, uses a different driver chain than the IDE one would (At least I think ... I'll not claim that I know much about kernel guts) but I did see similar behavior. On the one I had the machine would boot up and everything would probe correctly (including the zip drive), but as soon as I tried to access the drive from userland, either with a mount, or a `camcontrol reset` or anything like that -- hard lock. I tried different media, different cables, and even a different drive, all to no avail. I don't think it was a parallel port issue as I have other devices on the paraport now (I didn't then) that work fine. I eventually gave up and bought another CD burner... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Maybe it's not the IDE driver, but the core ZIP drive code? -- ----------------------------------- Samuel Kesterson skesterson@09217travelnow.com (Remove the numbers to reply) Views expressed are mine and not my employers, blah blah blah. -----------------------------------
