I am currently using Arch with a IDE kernel.
I want to hook my Parallel zip drive onto my laptop, so I read I had to use a SCSI kernel.
How can I change my current kernel to a SCSI one ?
I am using Arch 0.7
modprobe imm
should make it work ... then it should be under /dev/sdXY
]]>on my tower i have an internal scsi drive also a ide drive
ide=/dev/hda
scsi=/dev/sda
another thing you could try that ive found helpful is you have everything
plugged in run hwd -[s e h] whichever other option you want
i know hwd -h is = how to
but to get it i believe you need to run hwd -s 1st
this should tell you how to mount it
Parallel zip drive eh, you might need to change bios settings for your parallel port. I only have experience with scanners, but I had to change the setting.
Check this out:

During boot, does it display any message regarding a SCSI device ??
]]>Still my zipdrive is not detected
Any ideas?
On the net they state that its pretty easy to hook up a zipdrive.

and after you're finished, you need to run 'lilo' as root (only if you're
using lilo as your boot loader, if you're using grub you're already set).
