hi !

I have a parallel port IOMEGA ZIP drive.
It use the ppa modulei

All was Ok with kernel releases up to 2.3.31.
With 2.3.32 come a problem :

If compile ppa (and the scsi stuff) as a module and I try modprobe ppa,
it stay in a "initializing" state.

If it (and the other required scsi stuff) is built in the kernel, the
system stops after the following messages:

Dec 22 17:42:44 debian kernel: scsi0 : Iomega VPI0 (ppa) interface
Dec 22 17:42:44 debian kernel: scsi : 1 host.

My system is Debian 2.1 with :

- Kernel modutils 2.3.7
- Gnu C 2.7.2.3
- Binutils 2.9.5
- Linux libc5 C Library 5.4.46
- Linux libc6 C Library 2.0.7
- Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.10
- Linux C++ Library 27.2.1
- Procps 1.2.9
- Procinfo 0.9
- Psmisc 17
- Net-tools 2.01
- Sh-utils 1.16
- Autofs 3.1.3
- Bash 2.01.1(1)
- PPP 2.3.10
- Util-linux 2.9i-1.2

This problem is still present with 2.3.33 and 2.3.34
