Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your answer.
Sorry for my -not so clear- previous message.
There is an alternative between these two patches : only one of the
two may be merged. Indeed, a choice should be made :
to have the floppy driver built-in (in all stock kernels
or in the alpha-generic flavor
John, I only provided a temporary workaround (a hack, that ugly, but
will work) in case somebody really wants to try it quickly. In no way
it was supposed to be 'official' or 'correct'. Obviously compiling it
into installer kernel or udeb is the only option forward, and this is
what I said in 'or

You're welcome. Although it's sometimes so frustrating that I'm
Hi Adrian and Michael,
Indeed, it would be great to have a floppy driver at installation time. But it
seems that the
floppy-module udeb was removed. Would it be possible to ship it in the udeb
kernel package instead,
either built-in or as a module ?
