Extreme help needed with installation of FC2 on a Dell Inspiron 8600

[Mathew S. Nowend]

Tonight I installed FC2 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. It installed fine
with no errors. When it was finished it asked to reboot. So I did. It then
asked about forcing a file system and the first time I said no and the
machine locked at swap file. The second time I forced the file system and it
passed the swap file error and gave this message modprobe: Fatal Error:
Error inserting floppy
c/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko:No such device

Could somebody help please I am lost here? My floppy is modular on my laptop
and I put it in the bay and it still gave me the error. My floppy can also
be connected through a usb externally.

I also tried installing FC3 and it did not give me the floppy error but
instead it got to the part where it checked eth0 and then it hung there. 

Quick overview of my laptop is a Pentium M 1.8ghz, 2 gigs of Ram, 60 gig hd,
broadcom nic, broadcom 56k, nvidia geforce fx go5200 64 meg video,
cdrw/dvd/combo max screen resolution 1920x1200 with a vertical
syncronization of 60 hz and horizontal syncronization of 31.5-90khz. I hope
that covers everything. 

Thanks

Mathew Scott
