Fedora Core test3 on Latitude D800 [report]

[Lauri Jutila]

Ok, now I'm really mystified. After playing with the arjanv's 2.6.0test
kernel series and installing newer kernel utils and such, the oops has
gone for good from 2.4.22 series. Only annoyance left is the following,
which occurs at both boot (kudzu) and shutdown:

-- snip --
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2097.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o:
init_module: no such device

insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including IO and IRQ parameters. See dmesg and blah blah for
more info.

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2097.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o:
insmod block-major-2 failed
-- snip --

I wonder why it tries to load floppy module since this machine does not
have built-in floppy drive. But maybe you know a reason for this and
will be able to fix it. It doesn't affect the functionality or stability
of the system, though. It just complains.

Little more about the oops: I tried with all installed kernels (2088,
2093, 2096, 2097) and couldn't reproduce the oops anymore. I'll report
it if I stumble upon it again. In 2.6.0test8 I never got the oops.
