I'm trying to get my zip drive set up via a newbie article from Linux-mag because Sensei's zip drive NHF just didn't work at all (as has been my experience with ALL of his NHF's). The article says I have to run /sbin/modprobe -v imm to load the kernel modules. Great. When I run modprobe, the return message says my parport device or resource is busy. Well, I've even run modprobe with nothing physically attached to my parallel port, so it can't be busy. When I try to run dmesg to find out which device the module is being recognized as, I get a ton of eth0:interrupt(s) dropped! messages, and buried among those messages, I get a parport0:PC-style at 0X378 [SPP,PS2], then a parport0:no IEEE-1284 device supported, THEN after that I get imm version 2.03 (for Linux 2.0.0) {I'm running 2.2.14}, then after that I get a scsi : 0 hosts message. I'm running Mandrake 7.0 and did all the above as root. This is yet another WTF, Over Linux experience and any help would be appreciated.
