None of my drives are working and I can't understand why??
Anyone have any suggestions Here is my fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.12 2003/03/11 02:50:53 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/hda6 /var reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/hda8 /opt reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/hda9 /stuff reiserfs notail 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,users 0 0
/dev/zipdrive /mnt/zip vfat noauto,users 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
In konqueror in /mnt I have cdrom cdrom1 floppy with a lock icon on it and a zip folder mut none seem to work..
Another note autorun cdroms DO work
Please help |

Did you configure your kernel to support the Zip drive? (You need SCSI disk support, and the low-level 'imm' (IIRC) driver.)
Don't know about the other drives, though.CDROMs could be due to same thing. |

If it's a module, yes: as root do lsmod and look for imm. If it's not there, do modprobe imm and see if that works.
If SCSI disk support is a module too, you'll need to load it (modprobe sd_mod) to get at Zip disks.
Of course, the ultimate way is to go into /usr/src/linux and do |
