<DIV><SPAN class=027212222-27042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've just installed
Fedora Core 2 on a Compaq x1000 laptop, unfortunately it does not contain floppy
drive, but yet my boot up process is trying to load the floppy.ko module.
Some times I get a FATAL ERROR on boot up and it hangs, other times I get the
error but yet it is able to punch through it and startup. I dont have a
clue how to remove this hardware from being attempted to be loaded. Any
insight or reference to docs online would be greatly appreciated, I have
searched all over the web but most sites I find talk about the hardware manager
removing the non-existsant hardware?????</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
