This may or may not help. The message above looks exactly like what you'd expect if sda was an empty Zip drive. If inserting a disk and rebooting changes the message, then that's what's happened. So then the problem changes to why isn't your SCSI interface being detected (which would precede the Zip scsi in the sda, sdb list). Perhaps there's some parameter difference between the two kernels, but I'm not much help here as I don't use 2.4.x. (I can't even see where the Zip support parameters are for that matter.)
