yeah, i've tried that... and so my problem now becomes deeper. here is what's happening:
(floppy is NOT mounted, just inserted) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~-#> eject /dev/fd0 eject: open failed for `/dev/fd0': Device or resource busy [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~-#> eject floppy eject: open failed for `/dev/fd0': Device or resource busy [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~-#> cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 7 vcs 10 misc 11 kbd 21 sg 29 fb 36 netlink Block devices: 2 fd 8 sd 11 sr i'm running a kernel 2.1.130, but this was also true on 2.0.36. the 2.1.130 kernel *does* have the FD=y . . . # # Floppy, IDE, and other block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set . . . i've even tried this: for i in /dev/fd0* do eject $i done and as you can guess, all come back with the same error as 'eject /dev/fd0'... any ideas?
