Toshiba satellite s3000 rh8
The laptop has only one plugin for cdrom/floppydrive. For switching from cdrom to floppy one has to take out the device and plug in another. Usual solution for laptops.
I have not had any use for the floppy device until recently, when plugged in and updated /etc/fstab it worked fine. But now I can not start rh8 witout have it plugged in. If I now start rh8 with the cdrom device I get this message: (from/var/log/messages)

As I get these messages repeated I can switch device and plug in the floppy device and it jumps to normal login prompt.
I have tried to remove all references to floppy device in /etc/fstab and restart. Does not help.
Kudzu does not respond on initializing, I had expected that I could switch from cdrom/floppy or vice versa, and running kudzu as root and get it correctly updated.
Guess this must be a usual linux/laptop problem
Can anyone help?
