Hi everybody,
"The bug was introduced somewhere at the transition of 2.6.20 towards
2.6.20-git14."
I fortunately had some git9 patch at home and found out that it is sane.
In so far the floppy mount bug was introduced somewhen between 2.6.20-git10 and
2.6.20-git14.

Hi folks,
Second attempt now:
I already reported to Linus Torvalds and Andrew Morton that it is impossible to
mount a conventional floppy drive without hanging up the whole system.
Andrew's reaction was quite ambiguous: "We did not break it"
