As two of these kernels are stock redhat releases, I doubt my .config file is relevant. My system has IDE HD & CDROM. File '/etc/modules.conf' has no references to scsi or parport modules and I manually load modules with script zip-mount: #!/bin/sh echo "zip-mount: load modules & mount zip drive..." insmod scsi_mod insmod sd_mod insmod parport insmod parport_pc insmod ppa mount /mnt/zip - - - ### Okay: [root@two root]# /home/system/zip-mount zip-mount: load modules & mount zip drive...
