Ok, I had to insmod ide-floppy again after I rebooted, not sure how to make it
permanent.
Maybe I don't know how to use dmesg because when I run it I get the following listed
about 20
times:
VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64) no other lines
besides
that
1) The zip is the secondary slave, my system is:
Primary = hard disk hda1 and hda2
Slave = cdrom hdb if I understand correctly
Secondary = hard disk hdc1 swap hdc2
Slave = zip drive hdd
2) I have made no changes to system configuration
3) I do not have ide-scsi loading at all
This is really confusing me. It worked so nicely in eD2.4 :(
