Subject: fdutils: fdformat fails under current kernel(s) Package: fdutils Version: 5.5-20060227-3 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line *** fdformat fails completely on current kernels. example: (retyped by hand ,so typos possible...) # setfdprm /dev/fd0 hd # getfdprm /dev/hd0 DS HD sector=18 # fdformat /dev/fd0 Double sided, 80 tracks, 18 sector/track. Total capacity 1440 kB. Formating ... done. Verifying ...

So different floppy drives, 3 sets of good media. On a third system running an old kernel: 2.3.37 using one of the "failed" floppies, # fdformat /dev/fd0h1440 works perfectly. So it seems that something has changed on the floppy api (?) for current kernels -------------------------------------------------------------- lsmod: Module Size Used by ppdev 6348 0 lp 8012 0 speedstep_lib 4136 0 cpufreq_conservative 6256 0 cpufreq_stats 3520 0 cpufreq_powersave 1292 0 cpufreq_userspace 2768 0 microcode 11588 0 nfsd 204900 9 exportfs 3792 1 nfsd nfs 221580 0 lockd 57972 2 nfsd,nfs fscache 34440 1 nfs nfs_acl 2640 2 nfsd,nfs auth_rpcgss 31416 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 163772 10 nfsd,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss nls_utf8 1488 1 nls_cp437 5320 1 vfat 8628 1 fat 41452 1 vfat nls_base 6416 4 nls_utf8,nls_cp437,vfat,fat fuse 47752 3 dm_crypt 11092 0 dm_mod 49992 1 dm_crypt loop 13324 0 snd_intel8x0 26584 0 snd_ac97_codec 91264 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 1456 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 32232 0 snd_mixer_oss 12368 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 62420 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_midi 5688 0 snd_rawmidi 18596 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 6212 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 42436 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 17436 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6136 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 49060 9 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device uhci_hcd 19132 0 soundcore 6184 1 snd ehci_hcd 29680 0 snd_page_alloc 8180 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm i2c_i801 8564 0 3c59x 35576 0 e100 27464 0 i2c_core 20844 1 i2c_i801 intel_agp 22900 1 mii 4664 2 3c59x,e100 psmouse 37528 0 evdev 8028 6 rng_core 3672 0 usbcore 126004 3 uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd serio_raw 4560 0 pcspkr 2104 0 agpgart 30836 1 intel_agp shpchp 26648 0 pci_hotplug 24400 1 shpchp parport_pc 22420 1 floppy 46220 0 parport 31144 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc processor 34504 0 button 5060 0 ext3 107172 2 jbd 41036 1 ext3 mbcache 6924 1 ext3 ide_cd_mod 24484 0 cdrom 30316 1 ide_cd_mod ide_gd_mod 19852 8 thermal 12580 0 fan 4044 0 thermal_sys 13140 3 processor,thermal,fan ata_generic 4340 0 libata 150904 1 ata_generic scsi_mod 131800 1 libata ide_pci_generic 3632 0 piix 5680 6 ide_core 88100 4 ide_cd_mod,ide_gd_mod,ide_pci_generic,piix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fdutils depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.2.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages fdutils recommends: ii mtools 4.0.10-1 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files fdutils suggests no packages. -- debconf information: fdutils/fdmount_setuid: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
