  I upgraded my ThinkPad X32 notebook to Lucid beta. The notebook does not
  have floppy drive, but the floppy kernel module causes very high cpu
- iowait usage for about 20 minutes after initial booting, while issuing
- the following error messages:
+ iowait usage for about 20 minutes after reboot, while issuing the
+ following error messages:
  
  [ 1123.553851] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
  [ 1136.618649] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
  
  Manually removing(rmmod) and loading(modprobe) the floppy module later
  cannot reproduce the high cpu iowait usage.
  
  The workaround is to blacklist the floppy module.
