@dougfractal -- thanks for those logs. Noticed something I had missed before now:
[ 5.145495] Platform driver 'floppy' needs updating - please use dev_pm_ops [ 5.145530] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M [ 5.165752] FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 [ 5.201942] EDAC MC: Ver: 2.1.0 Jul 14 2009 We actually appear to have loaded the driver and continued in a reasonable time frame. Some time later we then start to see the errors: [ 18.140540] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 30.304489] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 30.304493] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 [ 42.472405] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 42.472408] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 [ 54.632477] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 54.632480] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 This could be related to udev probing of the device. Could you attach the /var/logs/udev file from a boot showing the issue, and also could you report the output of the command below: sudo time /lib/udev/devkit-disks-part-id /dev/sda Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- 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
