From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461) Description of problem: During the installation of 7.3, the create bootdisk option will not function if the only floppy drive in the system is an LS-120 (superdisk). The drive grinds and whirrs for up to 15 minutes, but no useable bootdisk is produced. In fact, the floppy can't be mounted in any system. The last time that I remember this working was with Red Hat Linux 7.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from Red Hat 7.3 disc 1 and Start the install. 2. When instructed, insert a formatted/blank 1.44 floppy disk in the LS-120 drive. 3. Press "Next" Actual Results: The LS-120 drive is obviously detected as the primary floppy device, as the installed access the drive while trying to create the boot disk. 15 minutes pass as the drive seeks and spins. The disk created is not useable. Expected Results: Should create a working boot disk, or at least warn that it can't create a boot disk in an LS-120. By the way, the "Create Boot Disk" on the system menu will not create a working boot disk either (unable to select /etc/hdc as the floppy device). Additional info: This may seem like a minor problem, but to the impatient installer, the 15 minute wait may seem like an infinite loop, causing the user to power the system off.
Jeremy please test this with your system with a ls-120.
Works for me on my test box, albeit a tad on the slow side. Any errors on tty4?
