I am seeing the same behavior on old HP Vectra PC's we have - any additional diagnostic info I can provide? Martin mandrews@cle.lionbioscience.com
Info on the ide-floppy driver is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ide- floppy/ http://paulbristow.net/linux/idefloppy.html I didn't find anything of immediate help. But if you do, PLMK!
I see the same problem with RH 8.0 on my Digital Hinote Ultra 2000. floppy io_port 0x03f2 in use. Cat /proc/ioports shows no device on that port or range. floppy worked at RH 7.2 & 7.3.
I can' remember which kernel version solved it, but a kernel update in the last month or so resolved this error for me. Martin mandrews@cle.lionbioscience.com
Indeed, this appears to be fixed for RedHat 8 as of kernel 2.4.18-24.8.0.
