At any rate with hamm, IDEFLOPPY was not compiled into the installation/ rescue kernel. The rescue floppy would boot (because the bios does that) but you couldn't even read the drivers floppy to insmod a module. So you need to compile your own kernel. Sorry, ought to. I guess you could get hold of ide-floppy.o and insmod it with /etc/modules . Likewise, you may not be able to format a floppy disk in an LS120 if you're running NTW4.0 with service pack 3. You need to copy the file atapi.sys from service pack 2. This fault has a very similar effect for NT - you can't make an NT rescue disk because it insists on formatting the disk first.
