The case of the missing floppy

[David A. Cobb]

Running Hoary, 2.6.10-5-386
Since a couple of weeks back, it became impossible to pmount the floppy
drive.  I tore everything out and built it up again, and it's still the
same.

Then I noticed the following in DMESG:

input: PC Speaker
inserting floppy driver for 2.6.10-5-386
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
reset set in interrupt, calling d08f6699
floppy0: no floppy controllers found
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset

At first glance, "no floppy controllers found" indicates a probable
hardware problem. 
Unless the "reset set in interrupt" message is relevant.

Can someone confirm that this his hardware, or point me to the likely
problematical software?

TIA
