I've seen no progress with the "legacy-type" floppy on the A690GM2MA- 8KRS2H. Currently running 2.6.24-19 and I haven't seen a new Hardy kernel appear for a while.
[The stability issues mentioned were solved by (ugh) discovering vDIMM was a little low and giving it the slightest (+50mV) nudge made all portions of the RAM function reliably. Any remaining issues on that machine are all in software -- Ubuntu, ATI (fglrx) and VMWare, I swear. :) This had no bearing on floppy behavior, and of course DOS, etc. can still use it fine.] I also have [Bug 244304] on a different system, which suggests that in some cases (maybe only USB/sd* ones), working floppy hardware will still seem to fail in GNOME because some component will look for a MS LDM table and give up without trying to mount plain FAT. My comment in this bug relates to a "classic" floppy on a real ribbon cable to the "real" floppy header of the A690GM2MA-8KRS2H; IIRC I have not seen that looking for a LDM table, it just craps out trying to read the disk at all. #244304 is with a USB floppy on a different system (but as such, my pet user can't read his floppies anywhere, since he's using Ubuntu everywhere now and doesn't know how to manually mount to work around the #244304 case). If you have any ideas for either this issue or #244304, I'm more than happy to test. -- Floppy Drive Doesn't Work in Kubuntu (and Ubuntu) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
