Since you seem to be running a full desktop as well, one of your user-space applications might be calling for this (non-existing) device (use "lsmod | grep -i floppy" to see if it's being used). Easy solution: Blacklist it. Edit "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and add " blacklist floppy" (without the "s). jens. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
