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

[Felix Adams]

I can add a bit of seriousness here:

On booting I'm getting

errors: fd0: read error
errors: fd1: read error

If I remove my "USB 2.0 Card Reader 35 in 1" the read errors on booting
disappear. There is only one bootable device in the bios, an SSD drive,
on sda. When I set up the system this morning it was asking for a
password on bootup as it should, /, /home and swap are all encryped. Now
it boots straight on to an encryped disk without asking for a password
whether the card reader is attached or not. Had to try it several times
before I believed it. 10 second delay on booting?

Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit

  Confirmed

  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,
