Greetings all; I was just contacted off-list by someone who saw my message about the failed floppy on 2.6.26-rc2, who had a copy of DSL with a 2.4 kernel in it. His floppy drive worked flawlessly when booted to DSL. But like mine, dd bails out with an error, no such device, when booted to a recent 2.6 kernel. So possibly this needs looked at a little closer? Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
