I have never set up a syquest syjet on Linux before but I dug an old one out of the attic and though I would give it a shot... A very humbling experience.. I dont even know where to start, I found some old stuff on the redhat mailing list but when I tried to do a modprobe pd I got the following error.. *************** /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptl/unsupported/drivers/block/paride/pd.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
