I had this problem on a desktop machine. It appeared to have a floppy drive, but it was not plugged in. After checking the BIOS, I discovered it was set as having a floppy on channel A.
After setting the BIOS to "No Floppy", the problem went away and it is now working just fine. -- Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
