That's the cause of the asus mainboard problem. Later initialisation of the floppy controller seems to work around the problem... The fedora linux kernel has the floppy driver as a module. You could also try to install that one alongside the rh9 one (don't know if that would work; it's completely unsupported...) -- Klaasjan Brand <kjb@xxxxxx> -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
