Hello,
I have a Toshiba Laptop (Sattelite) that has a switchable cdrom/floppy drive.
After the recent upgrade to 7.0, I find that I can only use the floppy drive.
If I use the cdrom drive, It recognises it during boot up (FDC is a *****) and
everything loads correctly. I can't mount the device though.
[Ivan@localhost Ivan]$ mount /dev/cdrom
mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
I did notice that during boot, it sees a floppy drive w2hen the drive isn't
even in the machine. FD0 is 1.44MB
When I try to shutdown, the mormal procedures go fine until it tries to unmount
all the filesystems. Then it says there is an I/O error on /dev/fd0 and it
hangs. Power down and start up yeilds a unclean unmount error and the
following fsck.
Is this a supeermount issue, or a kudzu, or is there something I need to
configure in the machine?
I must note that every thing works fine with the floppy drive. also in 6.1 it
woprked fine with both, but to switch you had to power down adn reboot to get
the device recognised by the computer.
Thanks again,
Ivan
