Great!! :) It really works! I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst by substituting the line # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro with the line # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro pnpbios=off and then issued the command "update-grub". After a reboot I was able to "modprobe floppy", to mount a floppy disk and accessing it flawlessly. Thanks for investigating and providing this workaround! Bye! :) -- :-( This Universe is buggy!
