All,

  I applied the 7.3/kernel/2.4.18-20030812 update (and everything else)
to my 7.3 systems and I noticed on the one with a parallel port Zip
drive that it no longer works. I assumed it was a parallel port card
problem but it isn't, since I've replaced the card and there was no
change. 

  This is the error I get:

$ mount /media/zip
/dev/sda4: Invalid argument
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

  The fstab entry looks like:

/dev/sda4       /media/zip      auto    noauto,user,exec 0 0

  Specifying the fstype doesn't seem to help. It accesses the drive, and the
drive is ejectable via software.

  Since there isn't a newer kernel RPM for download, is there something
else I can do to get this to work again. It's a major pain not having
the Zip drive available. Thanks.

Tom.
