Interesting... At which point do you get the message mentioning capacity and do you get anything about partition table on that puppy? What does /proc/partitions show?
In /var/log/dmesg, I see a line hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm no other message about capacity. The /proc/partitions has no hdd either: major minor #blocks name 3 0 117220824 hda 3 1 987966 hda1 3 2 1 hda2 3 3 57625155 hda3 3 5 104391 hda5 3 6 5863693 hda6 3 7 104391 hda7 3 8 5791401 hda8 3 9 104391 hda9 3 10 5839596 hda10 8 0 4462500 sda 8 1 1052226 sda1 8 2 2096482 sda2 8 3 1309297 sda3 8 16 4462500 sdb 8 17 4458006 sdb1
Tried it today. It is working now. Although I have to mount the zip disk manually, no udev event. udev-084-13 kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5
