Try reversing the cable to the drive (pin 1 at the wrong side). At least
that's what happened to mine... Now it apparently works.
dmesg shows following continously:

That's not the floppy. It should be "/dev/fd0".
Telcontar:~ # mount -v /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/fd0 mounted on /mnt/floppy.
