end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0

Hi, I have had enough of this floppy bs... I recall back in "2.2 world" a kernel problem... I am running 2.4.2-4GB kernel, but I am still getting this error message: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 absolutely randomly. The same floppy will mount whenever it feels like... su'ing won't help. SuSE lists search engine is still down (the last time I saw it working was like 1970?). I would appreciate if somebody could lend me a hand... Thanks, Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 Pro -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4GB -=- KDE 2.2-beta1 10:55pm up 12 days, 22:52, 1 user, load average: 1.16, 1.25, 1.20
