Go back to your original kernel - it already had support for the ZIP drive
(I use one myself).

Just add

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc 

to your /etc/conf.modules

then

modprobe ppa

with the ZIP drive attached and powered up.

You might need to use

modprobe imm

if you have newer ZIP drive or a 250 MB model.
