** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Critical => Wishlist

** Summary changed:

- Dapper powerpc: Device file /dev/fd0 does not exist.
+ Add support for floppy and SCSI devices on OldWorld Powermacs.

** Description changed:

  I cannot mount floppies in the built-in floppy drive on my beige
  Powermac G3 (OldWorld) running Dapper Beta. The problem is that the
- floppy driver module cannot be loaded since the /dev/fd0 device file
- does not exist.
+ /dev/fd0 device file does not exist since CONFIG_MAC_FLOPPY is not set.
+ Likewise I cannot use the built-in SCSI devices since the mesh module is
+ not built.
  
  This is a regression from Breezy.
