Description of Problem:

The boot disk for redhat (which uses syslinux as boot manager) will turn off
the floppy controlled in a way that causes ASUS P4T-E motherboard floppy 
controllers to stop responding.

I applied the patch patch below to ldlinux.asm in the syslinux-1.52 
distribution, compile syslinux and use this new syslinux for creating a
new bootdisk. 

Note, this type of change is also needed for lilo, since the floppy is not 
usable after installing Linux. I have no patch for this though.

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


How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with the boot floppy to get up some kind of Linux running.
2. Try to access the floppy

Actual Results:


Expected Results:
