The short answer is that if you don't have a floppy drive installed, you should disble the controller in the bios. The other side of this problem has also been reported. Not checking for a floppy results in people who actually have floppy drives, not being able to easily use them. There have been discussions on both the anaconda and kernel lists on this topic. The latest is that Kyle McMartin thinks he has a way to take care of most of the cases by finding out if there is a drive actually installed using ACPI. This isn't in the Fedora kernel just yet, but hopefully will be for the F13 release. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
