Andreas,
I don't have my ZIP installed any more, so I'm working from memory...
Make sure you also have the following:
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
#
# Plug and Play support
#
CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT=m
Also, I found it to work better when all support needed for the ZIP
was compiled into the kernel, rather than modules. I tried the
module route first without success, although I'll admit it's likely
I didn't have modules.conf configured correctly.
HTH,
Mike
