So of the machines you tested that have a floppy controller, 25% are buggy in the way that Kyle described. That's a pretty compelling argument against assuming that PNP0700 indicates the presence of a floppy drive. If you're interested in improving this, perhaps you could try adding a check for the CMOS bytes that indicate floppy configuration and make that check conditional on the machine being a PC? That might fix enough of these cases that we could turn the module loading back on by default. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
