today, on a standard f11beta x86_64 dvd install, anaconda was probing devices for a long time, so i looked in ctrl-alt-f3(?) and seen that it probed for fd0, found none, and then started to output i/o errors on fd0, sector 0,0,0,0,1......8,0,0,... etc i do not have fdd but in bios the fdd was left (default) as 1.44". after disabling it in bios, anaconda proceed as expected, without any delay. imo, if it didn't find any fdd, it just just get over it :) This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Hopefully, it'll also be much, much faster to skip fd0 too. It behaves the same way with floppy drive and no floppy. More details: (from dmesg ..at that time) device-mapper: multipath: version 1.0.5 loaded device-mapper: multipath round-robin: version 1.0.0 loaded [drm] Allocating FIFO number 0 [drm] nouveau_fifo_alloc: initialised FIFO 0 [drm] Allocating FIFO number 1 [drm] nouveau_fifo_alloc: initialised FIFO 1 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 1 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 2 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 3 ----------------------------------- This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora x86 does not recognize fd0 as a valid device as well. Drive light for diskette lights up, but stays lite. Even after re-install and multiple reboots, diskette drive light is on, but no device present, /dev/fd0, etc., declared as invalid device. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This situation also occurs for Fedora 13 RC3. During the install, when probed for storage devices, the setup will timeout before continuing. On the terminal you can see messages like: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 This occured when no diskdrive was connected and enabled from the BIOS. When the floppy drive is disabled in the BIOS, this error does not occur. Buffer I/O on device fd0, logical block 0 same problem here on F13.x86_64 every harddisk probe takes up to 5 minutes. And i've got no floppy! There is a kernel bug that tracks this situation, though I cannot currently find the number. Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
