        Sorry for the cross post, but it could be something that affects
both...

        Right now I am experiencing some really strange behavior with my
Dell servers.  Mounting a floppy, or accessing it via dd(1) causes a
system hang, (accompanied by a bios beep from the dpt card as though it is
being rebooted).  I have quite a number of other machines which are dells
which are not displaying this behavior, the only 2 things that I have been
able to discover as a parallel is the PM3334UW cards in all 3 of them, 
as well as so far having only tested it on dual capable motherboards.  I
have attempted hardware replacement of floppy drives (when I originally
thought I just had a bad floppy), booting SMP or UP kernels, as well as
makeing sure I have the most recent firmware on all the involved
boards...  there is also a little interesting tidbit in the dmesg from the
machines that they all have in common:

fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 16 of 16-31 (No status)

I have attached the rest of the dmesg.  So far, testing includes machines
sup'd Sept 6th source (broken) all through today.  I know that it worked
back (way back) in early Aug.  Any questions/answers would be much
appreciated as I have reached the end of my diagnosis capacity.

Have fun, and thanks all...
