RE: depmod question
pete,
ok, i've been digging up some info on this. It seems that zip drives on
the parallel port require the lp module to be loaded.
# modprobe lp
# modprobe imm
Possibly you need parallel port printer support compiled in your kernel???
Maybe its puking on that, just a long shot.
