autoprobing parellel port zip drive doesn't work during RH5.2 installation

Why RedHat 5.2 can't autoprobe my parellel port zip drive ( I have a vfat
disk in), and hangs If I fill in the secifications?  It worked OK on my
win98.

Perhaps I'm mistaken but I wasn't aware that it worked under
the current kernel. Try the 2.1.131 kernel. You may have to
give up Real Audio in the process unless you hack the sound
which is broken under the new kernel.
Yes I've put the patch and it still doesn't work if there is
congestion on the net. It dies while with kernel 2.0.36 it
recovers a bit later.

When I compiled the kernel it had the option for a parallel
port idea support.

1. Zip Plus drive on RH5.0 doesn't work

Having just obtained an Iomega Zip+ drive, I merrily recompiled my RH5.0 kernel
(2.0.32) for Zip support. Unfortunately, whereas my friend's parallel Zip [normal] drive
works really well, my [flashy envy-creating] Zip+ doesn't. Symptoms are refusing
to insmod the ppa driver with an error code of 2. A quick peek of the source
leads me to believe that it has found the parallel port but not the drive.

1. Any suggestions? [I've already considered less-than-legal options concerning
my friend's Zip drive...and discounted them]

2. Warning: Zip+ appears not to work on Linux (yet)!
