[newbie] Modules question

[Daniel J. Ferris]

This is really annoying and I'm certain the solution is so easy
that I'm missing it.

EVERY time I boot up, kudzu comes up and complains that my zip
drive has been removed (which it hasn't).  And morprobe -a ppa.o
results in the error message that it can't find module ppa.o. 
ppa.o is in fact in /lib/modules/scsi.  Ugh, this is annoying.

I only have one kernel installed and its the stock 2.2.16-9 one.

HELP!!

TIA,
        Dan
