This used to work just fine. Since I rarely use the floppy I can't pin down exactly when it started to fail but I did just notice it yesterday.
One potential culpret is an update to the kernel a few days ago:
kernel-smp-2.6.11.4-21.7
Anyone else see this problem?
Other possibility is also related to the kernel. I just recently turned on hyperthreading and switched to the SMP kernel. This was shortly before the update to the -21.7 level.
Thanks.
Don't take this the wrong way but... You did have a floppy in the drive when you clicked on the icon didn't you. It has happened to the best of us. Also try with different floppies as the one you tried may be bad. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
