Problem known with (almost all) P4-TE Asus motherboards not recognizing floppy at boot; the bug does not depend on Rh 8.0, and is reproducible with different linux distributions too. Proposed workaround: compile floppy as a module. It delays floppy recognition and then system works reliably. Tested on RH 7.2, I am recompiling 8.0 to test it again. *** Bug 78874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 83333 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Does this work with the floppy built in in a 2.4.21 or later kernel? (As that patch is applied there.) Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
