http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513739 Summary: pnpbios / floppy driver conflict breaks floppy access Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: phdm@macqel.be QAContact: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=298544) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=298544) fix the floppy driver io request that conficts with pnpbios User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20060911 SUSE/1.5.0.9-0.1 Firefox/1.5.0.9 The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS, and hence the floppy driver declares there is no floppy drive, which makes it impossible to access the floppy drive. This used to work in Suse 9.0. Here is a backport for 10.3 of the accepted patch for 2.6.30 that I wrote. Could it be included in the next kernel update for 10.3 and 11.* ? The other floppy-pnp related small patch could be intersting too.
