This thing used to be easy to set up, but I'm having lots of difficulty now (I haven't used it since 3.x, and I'm running 4.6-R now). I have scbus, ppbus, da, and vpo in my kernel. When I boot I get vpo0: on ppbus0 and at the end of the dmesg several lines of vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5) When I try to mount it nonetheless, it claims da0s4 is not configured. Turning on VP0_DEBUG is not much more enlightening - a series of vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (2) vpo0: XPT_PATH_INQ request vpo0: XPT_SCSI_IO (0x12) request vpo_do_scsi = 0, status = 0x0, count = 36, vpo_error = 2 12 0 0 0 24 0 arises. I wrote the original FAQ entry on how to set these things up - but now I'm either missing something really obvious or the zip drive support has substantially worsened. That or there's some conflict somewhere that I'm not seeing. Any ideas? -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
