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.<br>
<br>
Then I noticed the following in DMESG:<br>
<br>
</font><font color="black" size="+1"><tt>input: PC Speaker<br>
inserting floppy driver for 2.6.10-5-386<br>
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M<br>
reset set in interrupt, calling d08f6699<br>
floppy0: no floppy controllers found<br>
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones<br>
agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset<br>
</tt></font><font size="+1"><br>
At first glance, "no floppy controllers found" indicates a probable
hardware problem. <br>
Unless the "reset set in interrupt" message is relevant.<br>
<br>
Can someone confirm that this his hardware, or point me to the likely
problematical software?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
