[34330.168257] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 I've tried a few different floppies, the result is the same. The system is 64-bit only, no 32-bit emulation is enabled using a strict 64-bit-only userland. Has anyone else gotten their floppy drive to work under 64-bit? Is this just a case of a DOA floppy drive or is something else wrong? Justin.
