[lug] mounting zip drive fails: special device /dev/hdc4 does not exist

[bof]

I'm running Krud FC3 and, in upgrading from kernel 1378 to 1381, have 
lost the ability to mount my zip drive (/dev/hdc4) using the command 
"mount /media/zip". When I try this, either as a user or as root, I get 
an error message mount: "special device /dev/hdc4 does not exist". In 
/dev, hdc4 is there, as it always has been.mount:

I can still mount the drive if I am root and issue "mount -t vfat 
/dev/hdc4 /mnt" but then I cannot write anything to it as a user.

It seems to me that this happened before when Fedora updated their 
kernal and did not update something in the SE Linux features, but I 
cannot find my notes and searching Google and the Fedora forums does not 
come up with anything.

Solutions, anyone?
