I've completed what I thought was a good install of Fedora 7. But, I've
found out that my ATAPI based internal Zip 250 drive has not been detected
and/or configured. My setup is (under Fedora Core 6):
/dev/hda - Western Digital 80GB hard drive
/dev/hdb - IOmega ATAPI Zip 250 drive
/dev/hdc - Maxtor 300 GB hard drive
/dev/hdd - Toshiba DL DVD burner
After the install of Fedora 7, the setup shows up as:
/dev/sda - Same as /dev/hda above
/dev/sdb - Same as /dev/hdc above
/dev/sdc0 - Same as /dev/hdd above.
I verified that the Zip drive is working (it's there and readable when I
boot a Fedora Core 6 Rescue CD). That's when I noticed that there had been
a FAT16 disk inserted into the drive.
I went to the IOmega site and found the following instructions:
Question: How do I install Zip ATAPI driver for Linux Kernel 2.2.14 or
higher?
Answer: Step One - logged in as root (not su) enter the following
commands:
insmod ide-scsi
insmod fat
insmod vfat
Step Two - add a mount point for the drive:
mkdir /media/zip250.0
Step Three - mount your drive
mount -t fat /dev/sdb4 /media/zip250.0
Step Four - Add the following to /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb4 /media/zip250.0 fat noauto,user 0 0
What needs to be changed to get this to work under Fedora 7 (I'm already
using /dev/sdb - see above)?
Should the drivehave been 'seen' initially during the install? Was it my
fault because I did a custom partitioning scheme using LVM? Do I need to
go back a start the install all over again (I've had to do this in the
past)?
