I have just recompiled my kernel with the low-level scsi drivers for my parallel port ZIP drive (ppa), I boot up without problem and receive the following kernel messages: -
Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: Version 1.42
Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: Probing port 03bc Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: Probing port 0378 Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: SPP port present Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: PS/2 bidirectional port present Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: EPP 1.9 with hardware direction protocol Nov 12 23:49:39 adam kernel: ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32

This tells me that my ZIP drive was detected and is contactable via the SCSI bus.
Everything was fine until I came to mount it. There were no /dev/ppa* devices! I have no idea why these devices don't exist.
I am running RedHat 5.1 with a freshly compiled 2.0.35 kernel, I have compiled the ppa support into the kernel, no modules involved.
Could somebody help me with this?
Adam.
