Apparently the Zip is getting into an inconsistent state. Is this using a new disk or trying to re-mount the old disk? I didn't know that IDE ZIPs worked; what does the probe message look like? It may be that the kernel doesn't recognize it as removable device and thinks it's a normal hard disk instead.
