When i try to mount my ZIP drive system says that
"Driver is not configured". When i looked into modules
directory i noticed that ide_floppy module is absent. But
when kernel starts up it sees me drive and identifies it.
Why is ide_floppy module lost?

is this a selfbuilt kernel or a plain downloaded one? Could
you send me your .config file for the kernel? Most likely
there is no module because it is built-in, rather than built
as a module - especially if its detected on startup!
remember that ZIP disks have strange partition tables /dev/hdd4
might be the beast you want.
BUT! i'd advise reading some more on these drives...and AVOID
the ide-floppy method. use the ide-scsi instead. you can
then put
hdd=ide-scsi on your bootstrap line. read more at:

The kernel is downloaded from SourceForge. File name is 2.2.
10-000927.tgz.
Thank you for telling me about config file. There i found:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set
So the module is really absent. Well, after some time (when i
copy Debian distribution from my friend) i'll have to recompile
the kernel.
