Re: [PLUG] iomega REV drive on Debian

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

Now that I've switched to the Debian  kernel-image-2.6.8-k7 kernel  my 
External
Iomega REV  UDF drive works great.  ( the 2.4 kernel always mounted it  ro )

Howerver, I've just discovered that my IDE drives are all missing !

Note: I just found the solution while typing this -> see below.  Maybe
this can help someone else.  Why am I having so many problem with
Debian stable and simple IDE and USB devices ?

The system boots from an Adaptec IDE raid board that appears as 1
SCSI drive, which works.  But my  /dev/hda boot disk  and cdrom are
not detected, and no /dev files exist anymore.

I found this link which may help.

I've confirmed that the ide-detect ( or ide-probe ) modules are missing

The IDE driver with the 2.4 kernel works, and is a SIS5513,  and I found the
following:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/01/msg00704.html

So after doing a rmmod  sis5513,  and modprobe ide-generic.   the IDE
drives FINALLY worked !
