Problem also present in kernel-2.4.22-1.2108.nptl.athlon.rpm using Asus A7V333-X mobo & RH9 with all latest updates. Floppy works fine with kernel-2.4.20-20.9; rebooting with 2108 or 2115 floppy not found: [lewis@dogbert sw]$ sudo !! sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ Password: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device [lewis@dogbert sw]$ dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/null dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such device or address ... but the good news is the b44 driver in this kernel works a dream 8-) is the floppy module loaded ? any floppy related messages in dmesg ? The floppy module was not loaded - presumably it's not a module in 2.4.20.20.9. Loading module, floppy works fine, so problem solved. |
