Ok,
I just moved my CDRom to the first/only device on my second ide
controller, and installed a IDE/ATAPI Zip as the first/only device on
the first controller. However, whenever it tries to access the device
I get this:

ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0
ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0
hda: The drive reports both 100663296 and 0 bytes as its capacity
ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0
ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0
hda: The drive reports both 100663296 and 0 bytes as its capacity

And I can't fdisk the drive as it says it can't open the device.

I've compiled in support for IDE/ATAPI Floppy. This is kernel
2.1.109.

Any Ideas?
