Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Each time when starting a GNOME session, the system tries to mount
/dev/fd0. This machine has no floppy disk drive (but obviously an FD
controller)

Symptoms:

- "disk light" is permanently on for at least 20 minutes
- mount process is hanging there
- errors are written to /var/log/syslog all the time

Problem exists in Ubuntu Lucid, but it did not exist in Ubuntu Intrepid
(I have not used Jaunty and Karmic on this machine)

Problem does not exist in Kubuntu Lucid on the same machine.

I'm not sure whether nautilus is the culprit. I picked it, because
according to pstree nautilus calls mount.

Work-around: disable Floppy Disk support in BIOS
