From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Hotbar 4.3.1.0; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When I try to mount a blank floppy on an ASUS A2400H notebook (L5C-RP2885), the system freezes up. The command used is mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy The floppy drive appears to be spinning madly. The only way out is to power-cycle the notebook. The floppy drive is working okay as I can load in a RH EL (kickstart) installation boot floppy to start up a new installation. The problems remain after changing the floppy disc and power-cycling the notebook. The notebook is also multi-booting, and the floppy drive works well under Windows XP and SuSe 9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.21-15.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot up system 2.mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 3. Actual Results: System hangs Expected Results: floppy drive is mounted and the hash prompt returns. Additional info:
