I sent in the bug report. From what I can tell they just left out the software that makes a internal floppy work. Someone at Ubuntu wrote: that internal floppy's are "rare" clearly they must having been thinking 10" notebook and USB and not about the hundreds of millions of computers that still have and use a floppy. Even if the "floppy" is added into fstab and modules it still does not work. The expert at first started out on it, but I think he gave up, and for us we are not going to upgrade to 9.10 and will keep using 8.10 and 9.04. (*8.10 works really good and has been flawless) Hopefully they will put in a fix that will go in an update. I kind of get the feeling that the reason that 9.10 boots so fast is because it is not really doing a proper look to see what "plug and play" is in the system but that is just a guess, one thing for sure they did cut a corner and that was a floppy. It could be related to IDE but they will have to figure it out. Everytime I send in another bug on it I get a letter back about no new bugs so for now I just kind of gave up, as only one of our computers have the problem with 9.10 the others with 8.04 all work fine. I guess a lot of people will be changing back to 9.04 or 8.10 if they don't fix it. Millions of people still use floppy.
