So is it me, CentOS 5 or something else? (Ideas, anyone!?). It could be a

I'd ask before I spend too much more time on it!
As always: Logfile excerpts could have been a great help. Also dmesg
probably has to say something about that >:)

Oh yes, dmesg is very verbose:
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
Logfile is a little more specific - but not conclusive (apart from the fact
that something's not right) - here's up to when I plugged in and used the
USB floppy:

You've tried replacing the drive, and the disk works in your USB floppy drive,
so about all that's left are the cable and the floppy controller on the
motherboard. Probably not much you can do about the latter.
