Hi, Ok, I think I just had an idea which might solve this in a way that makes everyone happy, without depending on people getting their BIOS settings right. How about we drop die-floppy-die.patch, so that the driver will autoload again, and then add a script to initscripts that checks if any floppy drives were detected, and if not, then it blacklists the floppy driver ? This way we only get the boot delay caused by the floppy driver probing (in case of no floppy) once (on the first boot), and we make the floppy drive work out of the box for people who still have and use one.
