Hello guys,
Problem:
When I try do to something like mkfs on my ZIP disks, it hangs the
system as if it couldn't find or work on the drive.
I have applied the 'ide-floppy update to fix lockups with ZIP + Via
chipset' on my kernel but...it still doesn't work. Now I get this
message on my syslog:
ide-floppy: CoD != 0 in idefloppy_pc_intr
The drive make transfers fine, the only problem until now is this
with mkfs. I didn't have time to spend on my machine for this moment to
get some debug info but I will do it as soon as possible. But if you can
solve my problem or give me some tips, it would be great!
Sorry for my poor English.
System:
Athlon 1.2Ghz running on a Abit KT7A-R board
256mb RAM
NEC's IDE ZIP drive
Running Slackware 8 and Kernel 2.4.14
Thank you all,
William N. Zanatta
