Subject: Unused floppy1 going bonkers in 2.6.20-rds
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 01:59:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200703070159.28742.gene.heskett@gmail.com> (raw)
Greetings;
Kernel 2.6.20-rds (Cons patch), biostar mobo. 1GB of memory.
I have an elderly 5.25" floppy drive mounted in this box, something I use
for sneakernet duties to get to a 'legacy' machine occasionally. It
hasn't been used for anything in about a month or more. No disk in it
now.
Uptime 0d:15:47

About 8 or 9 times since it was rebooted 16 hours ago, and very
intermittent, it might skip 3 hours, then show two of these stanza's in 3
seconds.
The drive type is properly set in the bios if that actually means
anything.
The only mention of floppy in /var/log/dmesg is the ide-floppy driver
signing in during the boot cause I've got one of those 100MB floppies I
occasionally use too. It is not installed at the moment.
Has anyone else seen this in a box with two floppy drives in it?
Cheers, Gene
