Greetings; I have now been a day or more trying to write a floppy disk image to a floppy disk with dd, but the last attempt, hopelessly scrambled the data on the disk. I'm using fdutils-5.5 and dd to do this. So I just rebooted from 2.6.25.2 locally built to your kernel just to see if it made any difference. Checking dmesg, it looks just like any other recent boot. But once booted to 2.6.24.7-92, I now get the first error ever out of setfdprm: root@coyote coco3_6309]# setfdprm /dev/fd0 COCO7203.5 /dev/fd0: Permission denied [root@coyote coco3_6309]# This looks normal I think: [root@coyote coco3_6309]# ls -l /dev/fd0* brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 0 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 84 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1040 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 88 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1120 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 28 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1440 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 124 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1600 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 44 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1680 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 60 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1722 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 76 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1743 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 96 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1760 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 116 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1840 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 100 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u1920 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 12 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u360 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 16 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u720 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 120 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u800 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 52 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u820 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 68 2008-05-22 13:15 /dev/fd0u830 [root@coyote coco3_6309]# So what the heck is going on? I'm going to reboot to 2.6.26-rc1, which isn't overly stable, 4-5 days uptime is all I can coax out of it, and try it again. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
