Recently I upgraded from 2.6.11.11 to 2.6.12.3.  This morning I tried
using my Zip drive... unfortunately it doesn't work under 2.6.12.3.  To
verify that this was a kernel problem, I rebooted to 2.6.11.11.  Here's
some relevant output using 2.6.11.11:


I too see this issue, but it doesn't go away on 2.6.11.12 for me, something is eating /dev/ nodes, writing to them, this doesn't happen in 2.4, so yet another "don't do that", or user-space, I haven't the foggiest.

fdisk sees the drive on 2.6, 2.4 sees it okay on same hardware

I haven't tried on the most recent kernels, but ZIP seemed to work nicely with ide-scsi in earlier 2.6. You might want to try that as a data point if nothing else.
