Mark F .. I can confirm this Using - Ubuntu 8.10 -- K = 2.6.27-7-generic
After install of Ubuntu 8.10, I Had no floppy. Floppy light was on all the time, but could not mount / access floppy. Checked - /etc/fstab and had entry - /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 Tried lots of things mentioned on forums, but could not get it to work. Then found the "second" bug report page on no floppy and came here via link from that page. I created folder under /media - floppy0 In terminal - Did - " sudo chmod g+rwx /media/floppy0 " and " sudo chmod o-rx /media/floppy0 " in terminal - Did - " sudo modprobe floppy " My floppy is now (fixed) mountable and the light is no longer on. Extra details are for someone (like me) who is looking for help with this problem. -- floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid Alpha 4 kernel 2.6.27-2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
