(It also happened, at the same time, to fix the fact that the floppy module wasn't getting loaded for people who *had* floppy drives.) The fact the floppy module takes 30s to give up and decide you don't have a drive is very arguably a bug in the module. And the fact your boot waits for it is very arguably a bug in your boot ;) Scott --=20 Scott James Remnant scott@ubuntu.com --=-f6ZThZC110fWsGZZPbwj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkreHkUACgkQSnQiFMl4yK4VtACeIrO70NQyR+DO+sXZIdd0WgeQ 7i4An3JJD28cQVsUpZE+aX/w/Ijnf9wX =nRd7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-f6ZThZC110fWsGZZPbwj-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
