you could alias floppy off in the modprobe.conf, but that just hides
the real problem. I'm puzzled as to why this is suddenly causing
big problems, as the diffs in the floppy driver between 'works'
and 'broken' kernels are really benign. It's a victim of some other
change, but what that change is is a mystery to me at the moment.

could this be an USB floppy and BIOS has legacy USB selected?
