The floppy drive appears to be working for some people with the
2.6 kernel as is. However, there have also been reports of some
problems (see http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654 )
The attached patch against 2.6.0-test1 fixes the problem on all the
machines i've tested.
Cheers,
Sean

So floppy has a problem with clustered requests? Your patch doesn't fix
that bug, it masks it.
Question is, if we should just accept that and move on. I mean, who
really cares?
