Description Norbert Roma 2004-03-13 14:17:18 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040217

Description of problem:
Kernel detects a superfloppy device.  It the disk is present at boot
time, the machine freezes during boot.  When attempt is made to mount
the super floppy inserted after the system is up, the machine freezes
completely (no ping response on the eth0).  The test floppy has an
ext2 filesystem created on another laptop running FC1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.3-2.246

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot without super floppy in the drive
2. Put in a floppy and attempt to mount
3. Wait a second or two
    

Actual Results:  Complete freeze

Expected Results:  A mounted filesystem

Please try test3. With the test3 kernel the tests I've run on
ide-floppy are working

It's working for me too now.  Thanks! -nr
