I have a parallel-zip drive that i mount (almost randomly) to move old
files and projects off my drive ...
i have it configured with modularized parport and parport_pc, b/c my
kernel image is always becoming more than 500K and it doesn't like that
... and then i have scsi, scsi disk, and iomega-zip (parallel) as modules,
too ...
this gives me parport, parport_pc, scsi_mod, sd, and ppa modules ... when
i try to mount the drive, kmod(v5) [as well as kerneld (2.1.85) before
it] can't get everything ... kmod manages to load sd and scsi_mod, but
doesn't find the parport drivers to load ppa.
Now, looking at this, it seems completely reasonable that it can't find
it, since i'm asking it to find parallel port architecture stuff before
using the scsi bus (which it doesn't really have at all) ... but is there
some way that i can tell it that it will need this? I think I could just
edit (by hand) the modules.dep file in the directory to look for the
modules, but i would have to always redo that ...
Is there any file that I can create/modify and tell it "You need the ppa
driver, which needs parport_pc and sd" (those can find their own
predecessors at least)?
thanx!
