Also in Debian there are several reports regarding that issue.

Having a working udisks2 package will not be enough, since that one will
not be ported back to already released distribution versions. I wonder
if there are problems with RedHat or openSUSE too. Or do they ship an
earlier version not affected by this regression.

Anyway, it is known what caused the regression. So it would be great if
the attached patch to this report – which has been tested – could be
applied.

The problem of systems having a delay during start up because no floppy
drive is attached should be able to be fixed differently. Since the
commit message of the commit causing the regression does not specify the
root cause, I can only guess.

Is the floppy module doing the probing or udev? If we figure that out
people affected by a crappy BIOS should be able to pass in a command
line option and be done with it.
