Description of problem:
On shutdown(!) /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia invokes cardmgr which gives on
console some info about inability to insert floppy.o (as driver for
block device 2). What could this be? Scanning /etc/pcmcia for any
floppy-related stuff did not return anything

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Pick laptop without floppy, install Fedore
2.Start to level 3
3.Shutdown and look at the console.

I, too, am seeing this problem on a Pentium 4-M notebook.

Comment 2 Keith 2004-01-23 14:06:22 UTC
Also reproducable on IBM Think Pad X31. If I enable the legacy floppy 
in the BIOS (this allows for the floppy in the dock) the error goes 
away.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-07 18:32:12 UTC
When pcmcia devices are added or removed, updfstab is called to update
/etc/fstab for storage devices. It looks at the floppy port for floppy
devices, among other things.

'alias floppy off' in /etc/modules.conf should get rid of the messages
for you.
