I am running a stock fedora kernal ( 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ) I have a loan of a
Iomega 250 MB host powered zip drive.

In dmesg see the following -

usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech at suse.cz>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers

and later I see

usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xc88ae000, IRQ 10
usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.0, ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 2 ports detected
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:02.0-0 address 1
usb.c: USB bus 1 deregistered

when I have the device connected. Do I need to recompile my kernel and have
some extra USB support ( I am going to do a recompile as it is a dual boot
machine and ntfs is not supported by my kernel )

Under Mandrake 9 it was a case of plugging the device in and mounting
/dev/sda4

if not what other debug information do i need to get this device to work.

Thanks
Jason
