I am getting errors in my system log related to this package because it tries to mount my floppy drive every time I boot. Is this normal? Is there some way to change a setting to tell Hal not to try to mount my floppy, since there is nothing in it? Here's what I'm seeing -- Linux hal-subfs-mount [5226]: Collected mount options and called (0) /bin/mount -t subfs -o fs=floppyfss,sync,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec /dev/fd0 "media/floppy" Then further down in the log, I see -- linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 linux submountd: mount failure, no such device or address There are a few other related messages sprinkled in between and after these last two, but all are related to this same problem. I'm not sure I even need this package, but don't want to try to uninstall it if it's providing some basic functionality for me. The only autodetection I need is for my monitor and keyboard (since I KVM between different machines) and for the automount for desktop links I've set up to some external hard drives (if hal is involved with that, I don't want to uninstall it). Other than that, I'm not sure what hal would be doing for me. On the other hand, if I can tweak it to have it ignore the floppy during startup then maybe I would want to keep it around, in case it provides some other benefits either now or in the future. Any help greatly appreciated. Greg Wallace
