The eventually installed 2.6.7 system can access the floppy drive (read and write, eject, sense the write-protect tab, etc) so the Mac floppy controller *is* supported by *something* in the 2.6.7 kernel/modules suite. On the installed system (after the reboot), the date on the "floppy.ko" module is reasonable (Aug 5 18:32 -- exactly the same as all the other modules in that directory). Is that a clue? In the original installation report, (with reference to conditions during the installation and before the reboot), I wrote: > Attempting to manually "modprobe floppy" from the F2 console gives the > error: > > FATAL: Error inserting floppy > (/lib/modules/2.6.8-powerpc/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko), > Device or resource busy > > Interestingly, floppy.ko has date "Jan 1 1970".
