Subject: 2.4 -ac zip ppa -- 'mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device'
Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2003 08:00:23 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2j5idv0eh05vpva8tqkd4lc97bbh3dhack@4ax.com> (raw)
Hi there,
Mounting a ppa zip drive:
2.4.21-rc5-ac2 and redhat 2.4.20-13.9 report sda4 as "not a
valid block device" and do not mount the drive.
2.4.21-rc6 and redhat 2.4.20-9 kernels work fine.
As two of these kernels are stock redhat releases, I doubt
my .config file is relevant. My system has IDE HD & CDROM.
File '/etc/modules.conf' has no references to scsi or parport
modules and I manually load modules with script zip-mount:
#!/bin/sh
echo "zip-mount: load modules & mount zip drive..."
insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
insmod ppa
mount /mnt/zip
