[Bug 459950] Re: Detects "Floppy Drive" but no floppy drive in computer

[Detlef Lechner]

Jeremy Foshee: My IBM Thinkpad T43 has BIOS Version 1.29 (70ET69WW) and BIOS Date 2007-05-29.
dmesg showed the lines: "
[   61.501944] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   74.570717] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   89.462092] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[  102.526178] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[  102.526191] __ratelimit: 12 callbacks suppressed
[  102.526198] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[  115.590787] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[  115.590797] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[  128.654290] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[  128.654304] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[  141.718471] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[  141.718485] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[  154.782160] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0"
and so on although I do not have any floppy disk drive.
In my BIOS > Floppy Drives > Legacy Floppy Drives I switched 'Enabled' to 'Disabled'.  The associated text reads: "Disables diskette drive connector."
Now dmesg does not show fd0 related entries any more.
'~$ uname -a; Linux T43 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux.'
