The behavior that Randy is seeing from his device is EXACTLY what I'm
seeing with my zip drive. The USB layer seems to pick up the device fine,
but the SCSI layer fails to find it. My log, except for device names,
looks exactly the same as Randy's. (Didn't have time to get it off my home
machine and email it, I kinda overslept this morning. Up too late coding
:-) /proc/scsi/scsi shows no devices, but /proc/scsi/[something do do with
usb, can't remember what it is at the moment] does show the zip.
I'm going to grab some older 2.3.x kernels and see where it broke. The
last one I tried was 2.3.99pre5, and that didn't work. I'll also make sure
that the major/minor device numbers of /dev/sd* match up with those in the
most recent kernel. I also recall seeing something about broken SCSI
device numbers on the lmkl in the past few weeks - might be worth checking
the archives.
