Re: Can't acess ide ZIP under 2.4.16 with devfs

[Paul Bristow <paul@paulbristow.net>]

Gregoire,

I'm working (right this minute) on devfs support for ide-floppy

but... your problem doesn't look like an ide-floppy/devfs problem.

On my system, the output from fdisk on a zip 250 looks like

  [root@zoltar ide]# fdisk /dev/hdf

   Command (m for help): p

   Disk /dev/hdf: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 239 cylinders
   Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

      Device    Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
      /dev/hdf4   *         1       239    244720    6  FAT16

so your hdc is a hard disk, not a zip.

Try changing your fstab to point to ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc 
instead of /dev/hdc
