I've got an internal IDE ZIP drive that has worked with kernels 2.0.31, 2.0.32, and
2.0.34.
It's given me some variation of the following "errors" everytime it boots... but they
don't
seem to impact performance.
> Jun 21 13:10:43 localhost kernel: Partition check:

I've also gotten the "drive reports both blah sizes" error with no ill effects. As for
the BIOS being
able to detect it, on my system it DOES on a warm boot, but DOESN'T on a cold boot.
Oh, I did have a problem with it once when I forgot to include the IDE_FLOPPY (or
whatever it is) option
in the kernel config.
