2.6.12.5 ATAPI Iomega Zip100 problem, more info, solved?

Greetings,

Some more info on removable media oddness.  I use both vfat and ext2 
format zip disk.  Two mountpoints:

/dev/hdc4       /mnt/zip        vfat            noauto,user             0 0
/dev/hdc1       /mnt/zip2       ext2            noauto,user             0 0

Odd behaviour:

$ mount /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/hdc4 is not a valid block device

Yet at this point fdisk can access the zip disk.  On the other hand an ext2 
formatted zip disk works as expected with "mount /mnt/zip2"


Making ide_floppy a module avoids this odd behaviour.

Cheers,
Grant.
