This has been a problem for all the kernels I've used since I got the drive (2.2.18, 2.2.20, 2.4.0->2.4.4-ac6 series). The ide-floppy support is compiled into the kernel but I've had similar problems when using it as a module. The disks work perfectly on a windows box and even worked fine when I was using the drive with windows. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks, Mark Phalan ps Could you cc replies to this address as I am not on the mailing list. Thanks.
