Hi,

Once I reported this problem, thought it was gone, but it's back and I don't
have a clue how to solve it.

Here's the story:
        1) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 001.x 001.y 001.z
        2) Unmount the floppy
        
        3) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 002.x, 002.y 002.z
        4) Using ls or KDE's file manager I SEE files 001* -- that's the files
           that where in floppy 1.
        5) More, I can't access them, I can't access the 002*, which are the
           ones physically in floppy 2.

        6) If instead of 3), I mount an ext2 floppy I can see and operate the
           files that are contained in it.
        7) Umount ext2 floppy and mount dos floppy #2, shows files of floppy
           #1, so I back to ground zero

Here's additional info -- kernel messages and my fstab:

# NOTE: Does not matter which line is uncommented, the error is the same
================================================================

I really would appreciate if you could help me on this weird one... anybody
ever experienced such thing? An additional note, my CD-ROM(IDE Atapi) is going
nuts (mechanically, sometimes doesn't start spinning, even on W98), could this
be related, i.e., "confusing" the kernel/other devices?

Thanks in advance for your help/comments,

Alvaro Novo
