A very strange, but good idea, it did change. Obviously it tries to boot from
the zip drive which seems to become /dev/sda with kernel 2.4.4.
That make sense, because the PC at home wich is very similar (except it has a
real SCSI zip) worked without problems with 2.4.4.

It is detected, but I can't read the messages because the boot process is too
fast. Pressing "pause" which worked in earlier times (if I remember it
correctly) does not stop the process, and shift+pg up does not work after the
kernel panic.
This does not really solve the problem, but at least I now know what the
problem is, which is the first step in solving it. ;-)
Thanks a lot.
