Leann, Thanks, I’ll test with a vanilla kernel.
Andy, If I change “Legacy Floppy Drives” to disabled in BIOS settings, the floppy driver is not loaded and everything works. That is to be expected. Nevertheless, it would be nice for Linux to automatically realize the drive doesn’t physically exist and refuse to load the module. No other BIOS settings seem related. If a user adds a floppy drive to a Thinkpad while it’s running, I find it okay for her to have to modprobe floppy manually if the hardware doesn’t notify the OS about the drive. What to do when the drive is disconnected, i don’t know. -- 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
