Re: Bug Report: Kernel 2.4.0-test7 - Floppy Drive?
Greetings... Of all the bugs i've run into, this is one of the oddest. Hopefully, i've a) got all the req'd information here and b)a hope of finding a solution/workaround/a facsimile thereof to the problem. System Spec's: K6-2/500 64 MB RAM 9.2 Quantum HD 2.4.0-test7 kernel Panasonic 1.44M FloppyDrive Distro: SusE 6.4 Problem: mounting /dev/fd0 or /floppy gives the following output: /dev/fd0 has a wrong major or minor number! News to me.../dev/fd0 is still 2, 0, just like it's always been. 8) The floppy drive was tested with a boot kernel, and works; mke2fs -m 0 /dev/fd0 also works well, as does make bzdisk. I checked the /etc/fstab parameters which are automatically set up upon installation of SuSE, and these read as follows: /dev/fd0/floppy autoauto,user 0 0 All the other devices seem to be working properly. Any clues as to what might be a good workaround to the problem would be really appreciated...the -t option with mount has done nothing, nor has rebooting. Thanks for your time and help.
