imm module issues

Hi,

I've compiled the 2.6.20.2 kernel today (I took the SuSE HEAD kernel instead of the vanilla one) and I'm having issues with the "imm" module. I still use a ZIP drive here for small backups and the "imm" module worked flawless on kernel 2.6.18.8 but with kernel 2.6.20.2 I get error messages that the device is offline even if the device is switched on and has a ZIP disk inside of it.

This is what I get from "dmesg" (Sorry for posting this here if it's the wrong place, but I wasn't sure if I should report this to Novell's bugzilla because I'm using the SuSE head kernel which is not officially supported)

imm: Version 2.05 (for Linux 2.4.0)
imm: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
imm: Communication established at 0x378 with ID 6 using EPP 32 bit scsi1 : Iomega VPI2 (imm) interface

Has there been any progress on this?

If not, can you narrow the regression down to a specific kernel version?
