FDC 0 is the first floppy disk controller, ie this is floppy.o telling you some information about your floppy controller hardware. Now, this is an OK-type message, and I would expect that it is printed after floppy.o has done its stuff successfully. I doubt, that this will do any good, but try compiling a kernel without floppy support and see if that'll do the trick (unlikely though). Also, as suggested in another mail, after the floppy stuff comes the network stuff. If this is still the same with 2.4.6 (it should be, but I wouldn't know, I have floppy support compiled as a module), than something is broken there.
