install problem: partion check of removable media

[Eric Wood]

During the install of Severn, the kernel detects (right before anaconda gets
going):
hda: hard drive
hdb: cd rom
hdc: zip 100

Partition check;
hda: /dev/hda1
hdc: lost interrupt lost
hdc: lost interrupt lost
hdc: lost interrupt lost
.....forever....

Only until I put an zip cartridge in does the installation proceed.  This
may be a problem for other removable media detections as well.
