This server is running 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5xen
But I am getting the same on a 'straight' server running 2.6.18-53.el5
To be honest I'm not going to pursue this as the need for floppies is very
small and the USB one works, but this may be of use to others or someone
closer to the OS may want to take a look?
