zip drive and automount, ac20 and ac21

Hi!

I use a iomega zip 100 with the automounter. It is connected to the
parallel
port and use the ppa driver. I have installed on the disk an ext2
filesystem
instead of a msdos one. The device is /dev/sda1. This works fine with
2.2.16
kernel and with all the 2.4.0-test1-acxx up to ac19. With ac20 and ac21,
it
doesnt mount (even 'by hand').

Here are the messages I got :

Jun 18 23:58:20 f5ibh automount[209]: mount(ext2): /dev/zip: filesystem
needs
repair, won't mount

The filesystem is clean (tested with 2.2.16), the only message that
seems
relevant is : modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-8.

I've the following lines in my /etc/modules.conf :

# Parallel port
#--------------
post-install parport modprobe -k parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

# ZIP drive (ppa)
#----------------
post-install scsi_mod modprobe -k ppa

The device is :
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 mai 10 1999 /dev/sda1

Is this a bug of ac20/ac21 or is there something specific for
block-major-8 ?
