I've got the usual Iomega Zip drive at /dev/hdc (master, 2nd channel) on my
Soyo Dragon Plus MB. I've used it under v9.0 and 9.1 with no problems. I'm
able to use it just fine now, cp'ing/rm'ing files no problems. I am getting
an odd message in dmesg that I've never gotten before (this is under 9.2):
Partition check:

unable to read partition table
ide: late registration of driver.
I tried booting with 2 different (and known good) zip carts in, as well as
with no cart in at all. Same message. I switched IDE cables, just in case.
Still the same message.
AFAICT - there is no harm done, after all...I am able to use the drive. Its
just annonying. Is this one of those semi-harmless, non-fatal messages that I
can safely ignore?
Thanks!
