Add 'install floppy /bin/true' to /etc/modprobe.conf.

Comment 2 Alex Thomsen Leth 2004-05-21 17:46:37 UTC
could'nt this be done automatic

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-05-21 18:21:54 UTC
Well, you'd still have to test for the presence of the floppy
controller. And the only way to do that is to load the floppy module,
so you're back in the same boat.

You could build floppy into the kernel, and then the error message
would go away, except for once at boot in the normal kernel sequence.
