But OTOH, WHY ARE WE SHIPPING A BUILT-IN FLOPPY DRIVER? Is somebody really suggesting that one might have the root fs on a floppy and thus the floppy module must be built in? And why are all the other storage drivers not built into the kernel? So i'd really suggest making that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So i'd guess it is some part of the hunk of cr^W^W^Wlovely stack of well designed software called "udev and friends". Can i suppress the creation of /dev/fd0 with an udev rule? this would probably "fix" the issue. BTW: per default never loading the floppy module (because it cannot be probed) would be a good idea since it would surely save a few kilobyte on every machine out there. Nobody is using floppies anymore. At least i hope so ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
