This has been tried on two different systems with 3 different known
good floppies. So different floppy drives, 3 sets of good media. 

On a third system running an old kernel: 2.3.37 using one of the "failed" 
floppies, 
# fdformat /dev/fd0h1440
works perfectly.

So it seems that something has changed on the floppy api (?) for current 
kernels

Hi,

As said in my previous messages, a patch relative to this issue has been 
included in the kernel, therefore I'm closing it. For more information, please 
refer to the bug page on the BTS.

Thanks for reporting, and again, feel free to reopen the bug if the issue did 
not disappear.

Regards,

  Matteo
