I got the problem on a Dell Latitude C600 with changable drive bay. While trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 from the Live-CD and switching to tty0 I got:
[ 84.588000] Buffer I/O Error on device fd0, logical block 0 with different numbers at the beginning for four times. And a [ 300.42400] hdc: drive not ready for command two time with different numbers at the beginning. After reading this issue I tried waiting a while and after some minutes the Live-CD resumed starting. Unfortunally I cant switch off floppy in the BIOS and i'am curious if a kernel-parameter may help. -- [feisty] kernel boot delayed 60 secs on floppy error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
