Just booted into pre8 (from the v2.1 dir) and found new errors regarding
my IDE stuff.

The related boot messages are:

Jan 20 11:12:38 kinder kernel: hda1 hda2 < hda5 > hda3 hda4

Now.... hdc is my zip drive. I never got the above error with any kernel.
The mysterious hda errors are still there. They only came in when I
started using 2.2.0pre4 and up. never used 2.2.0pre1-3 or 132. 131ac13
didn't have em.

Furthermore:

1001.root@kinder:/root>> mount /mars/zip
mount: /dev/hdc4 has wrong major or minor number

But:

0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 May 6 1998 /dev/hdc
0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 May 6 1998 /dev/hdc1
0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 2 May 6 1998 /dev/hdc2
0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 3 May 6 1998 /dev/hdc3
0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 4 May 6 1998 /dev/hdc4

Which looks fine.

When I tried to run fdisk on it I got the following:

1011.root@kinder:/root>> fdisk /dev/hdc
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: packet command error: error=0x50
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Invalid command operation code -- (asc=0x20, ascq=0x00)
The failed "<NULL>" packet command was:
"43 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 "
You will not be able to write the partition table.
hdc: cdrom_read_intr: data underrun (1 blocks)
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 1

Unable to read /dev/hdc

Ummm... cdrom? I get the feeling it things my zip drive might be
a cdrom drive.

On the up side I've not been able to reproduce the previously mentioned
problem with my DVD drive. :)

System is:

Linux kinder 2.2.0-pre8 #12 Tue Jan 19 17:21:18 EST 1999 i686 unknown

compiled with egcs 1.1.1 with -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro added

Hope this helps. If you need more info then holler. :)

    There was farting in the air that night,
        It lit so bright,
