Soon after this, there should have been lines that look like:
scsi0: SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi: 1 host.
Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W8432T Rev: 1.05
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
scsi: detected 1 SCSI cdrom total.
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Were there no such lines? I would expect at least the first one, which
indicates that ide-scsi is loaded, since ide-scsi is mentioned in the
partition check, below. I am working with RH 6.2, but I doubt this has
changed on RH 7.

I don't have a ZIP, so I don't know what is normal there. But I believe
it is the device that needs the sd_mod (SCSI disk support) driver. Since
you compiled sd_mod as a module, I don't think it is available this
early in the boot process. In which case, the error message might be
normal. Did you try compiling it into the kernel?
