You can't probe for the presence of a floppy without loading a floppy driver. Then how about getting rid of the error message? It does. modprobe floppy >/dev/null 2>&1 Oh, I see where this is coming from now. udev manually creates /dev/fdX on start. Hence, any attempt to access them causes an autoload of floppy, which may or many not succeed. Since we're loading floppy in rc.sysinit, I don't think the manual udev creation is needed. Thank you for the update. I await an update for testing. |
