[Bug 384579] Re: Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute.

[Jamie Strandboge]

I too am seeing this on an IBM T42 in the daily-live CD installer
downloaded on July 7th. It is much longer than a minute in the
installer, and there was an error regarding a udev worker exiting with
status 0 over and over again. Going into the BIOS and disabling Legacy
Floppy support is a workaround for now. This is new to Karmic kernels
(ie Jaunty and earlier never had the long startup times).
