Somebody in the thread at some point said:
I want to confirm Gene Poole's post about Fedora 7
(and kernel 2.6.2x) non-support of ATAPI IOMEGA Zip Drives.
Neither Fedora 7's nor kernel.org's kernels recognize the device.
Back in Fedora Core 6 (and kernel 2.6.18), the drive was
/dev/hda (or /dev/hdb, whatever). But the best Fedora 7
can do is create /dev/sdb, unless the drive actually has
a disk inside. Then Fedora 7 creates /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb4
(or /dev/sdb1 if you have made your own Linux partition).
That actually sounds right... on newer kernels /dev/hd* is dead and all
IDE devices appear as logical scsi devices. So the fact it gets as far
as recognizing and creating /dev/sdb1 for example sounds pretty good.
I have tried building several 2.6.21.3 kernels, but they all
fail to recognize the drive. Only the program, sfdisk, can
read anything from the device without generating any error
messages. The command, sfdisk -l /dev/sdb, prints out
what seems to be one good diagnostic message and a
reasonable partition table.
How do you mean "fail to recognize the drive" when you are also saying
you get a /dev/sdb1 created? That sounds like the drive is recognized fine.
I wouldn't tell you everything is tickety-boo with the libata stuff
because a few days ago I had to remove a DVD drive from a laptop to get
it to complete a boot and udev with 2.6.23-rc1. But it would be good to
see the "error messages".
