The problem seem to be that beginning with kernel 2.6.30 the ide-scsi interface (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI) has been dropped. Probably the new kernels are broken with the ATAPI floppy support. I'll have to find out how to use a PATA driver for the ZIP drive. Helmut. On 1/4/10, Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de wrote: Hi, I've upgraded the kernel on an old machine to 2.6.32.
