Summary: Floppy access locks system with endless stream of errors
Kernel Version: 2.5.68-bk11
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Owner: [email protected]
Submitter: [email protected]
Distribution: Debian Testing
Hardware Environment: Dell Optiplex GXa
Problem Description:
Trying to mount a floppy gives an endless stream of:
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
The system is non-responsive to changes to VTs, it can't be pinged, but
alt+sysrq prints "SysRq: Show State" but never prints anything beyond that
(but changing LogLevel via Sysrq works).
Ctrl+alt+delete has no effect, numlock won't turn on/off numlock light.
Steps to reproduce:
Insert floppy, try to mount it.
Fixed in 2.5.69

Okay, this one is fixed but people keep reporting there is more
to be done. So floppy still is not 2.6 ready.
