If you can reliably reproduce the oops, could you please test the following: - get current kernel-source - backout ide-floppy patch. It is available either in CVS, <http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/kernel/linux-2.4.19-pre4-ide-floppy-devfs-fix.patch?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup> or in kernel SRPM of course. - apply ide-floppy patches from <http://members.cox.net/kpfleming/ide-floppy/> there may be conflicts of course, they are against vanilla kernel. Still I hope it should apply. - test with these patches if it works. Please, test _standard_ Mandrake config without any modifications. We are chasing bug in mandrake kernel :-) -andrej
