[Bug 568720] Re: Error scanning for fd0 on boot

[William Gallafent]

Today I did a clean install from the Kubuntu 11.04 DVD on a brand new
PC. Custom RAID partitioning of two SATA HDDs, and at startup after BIOS
I get a long pause (30s or more) followed by the same error, “error: fd0
read error.” on the screen for many seconds, probably a minute or more,
before the system boots. I _do_ have a floppy drive connected! First
SATA HDD is configured as first boot device, grub installed on MBR of
that drive.

This delay is pretty annoying!

Title:
  Error scanning for fd0 on boot

  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Hi

  Since upgrading to lucid and installing the new grub-pc, I get an error on boot before the GRUB screen:
  error: fd0 read error.

  I don't have a floppy drive, and it's supposedly disabled in the BIOS.

  Bye,
