Can't mount a SCSI Zip100

[berk25]

I have redhat 6.2 upgraded to 2.2.17 kernel, a SCSI zip100 and an adaptec ah1520 ISA card.

I did the insmod to install the aha152x.o driver (the fat.o and vfat.o were reported as already being installed)

In my fstab, I added the line:
/dev/sdc4 /mnt/zip100.0 vfat noauto,user 0 0

I have created the /mnt/zip100.0 directory

Errors:
If I try "fdisk /dev/sdc4" I receive the error "Unable to open /dev/sdc4"

If I try "mount -t vfat /dev/sdc4 /mnt/zip100.0" I receive the error "mount: /dev/sdc4 is not a valid block device"

If I try "iw -m /dev/sdc4 -mp /mnt/zip100.0" I get the error "Failure accessing DEVICE: '/dev/sdc4' "

Any clues will be greatly appreciated. I posted this in the Iomega Linux forum but haven't receved any help ther.

Are you sure scd4 is the correct device for the drive? Checked you system logs to make sure?

There are some articles here (http://linux.nf/stepbystep.htm) on SCSI and Zip drives that may help.

Based on one of the articles you referred to, I would say that sdc4 is definitely not the write ID. I got that from my interpretation of posts on Iomega forums.

I'm not sure what it should be, but I'm probably at least pointed in the right direction now.

Thanks
