Very Computer

I'm tring to get my Iomega Zip (not the plus) drive to work under Red
Hat Linux 5.2.  I used the following commands:

rmmod lp

insmod ppa

The 'insmod ppa' gave me an error that says:

Quote:>ppa: Version 1.42
>ppa: Probing port 03bc
>ppa: Probing port 0378
>ppa:     SPP port present
>ppa:     PS/2 bidirectional port present
>ppa: Probing port 0278
>scsi : 0 hosts.
>/lib/modules/preferred/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

I can't mount my Zip Drive until I can get this ppa to load.  I ran
lsmod to see what was loaded and it was only my ethernet card that was
loaded.  When I did 'desg | more', I found:

Quote:>ppa: Version 1.42
>ppa: Probing port 03bc
>ppa: Probing port 0378
>ppa:     SPP port present
>ppa:     PS/2 bidirectional port present
>ppa: Probing port 0278
>scsi : 0 hosts.

I have my Zip Drive plugged in and when I boot under Win 95, it was
being reconized.  Any leads, advice or help would be appriecated......

Try "modprobe" instead, because there's a need for SCSI-modules to be
loaded before "ppa.o" can.
HTH!
