Obviously it tries to boot from the zip drive which seems to become /dev/sda with kernel 2.4.4.
That make sense, because the PC at home wich is very similar (except it has a real SCSI zip) worked without problems with 2.4.4. > So then the problem changes to why isn't your SCSI interface being > detected (which would precede the Zip scsi in the sda, sdb list). It is detected, but I can't read the messages because the boot process is too fast. Pressing "pause" which worked in earlier times (if I remember it correctly) does not stop the process, and shift+pg up does not work after the kernel panic. This does not really solve the problem, but at least I now know what the problem is, which is the first step in solving it. ;-) Thanks a lot.
