Floppy & FC2

[Don Woodward]

Thanks for the quick response.

Adding "remove floppy /sbin/modprobe -r floppy" doesn't do the trick - I
still see "inserting floppy driver for 2.6.8-1.521" and "floppy0: no floppy
controllers found" in dmesg and "modprobe -l | grep floppy" still shows it
as loaded.

Maybe I will add a floppy :<

Might be just a workaround, but edit you /etc/modprobe.conf and put

    remove floppy

in it. In future you might want to add a floppy drive...
