This bug still exists with RedHat 7.1beta "Wolverine". My Abit BP6 has an LS-120 at /dev/hda (and no regular floppy drives - the controller is even turned off in the BIOS) and during the installation when it tried to create a boot disk it went into an infinite loop accessing the drive. I had to re-run the installation and skip making a boot disk to complete the installation. LS-120 boot floppies, they aren't just for IA-64 anymore... P.S. I was using a 1.44MB diskette in the LS-120 drive rather than a 120MB one. I've verified that creating a bootdisk with LS-120 works with our internal builds as of April 3. I have a test machine here with an internal LS120 drive and no floppy. You have to disable the floppy controller in the bios, though, or the kernel will think there's a floppy drive on /dev/fd0. |
