localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

Dear All

I am getting these strange messages:

Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed
during operation
Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jan 20 01:22:22 localhost kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed
during operation

It surprises me, as I do not have any floppy disk inserted.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
