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

[gcb]

Desktop. Asus motherboard. no floppy attached. (will boot soon and try
to disable legacy floppy options in bios, if they are enabled). Clean
install of ubuntu 10.04

same amount of fd0 io errors in dmesg.

gcb at inutil:~$ sudo rmmod floppy
ERROR: Module floppy is in use


gcb at inutil:~$ mount

...Then i waited some time and that mount process weren't there anymore.
forgot to see which other process started it :( after the mount was
gone, rmmod floppy worked.
