I have now discovered that even commands like
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img
also fail with crc errors. All these things work fine on the old box
under kernel 2.4.37. So it looks as if there is something fundamentally
wrong with low level floppy access. Yet filesystem access is ok which
doesn't fit at all?
I have asked on my LUG list, and someone tested on Gentoo 2.6.31 and
found that fdformat and dd both worked without problems. So that seems
to eliminate a kernel problem.
Is there some common library involved?
