Hi Tim,

Thanks for your advice.

vfat module only loaded after
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Edited

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

as advised.

# mount /mnt/floppy
mounts the floppy. Floppy icon on KDE desktop also works without asking for file system.


Now in

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
mousedev
hid
uoboorc
input
vfat

What are 'hid' 'uoboorc' and 'input' for

Also at booting I saw "loading uoboorc Failed". What is that. This happened before I added 'vfat' to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

It could be a module problem. Try doing an lsmod before and after the mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy command and see if the vfat module
has been loaded. If it has, then put vfat into your
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 file.

Hi all folks,

I have problem in mounting floppy. /etc/fstab as follow;

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,user,kudzu 0 0

On konsole window
# mount /mnt/floppy
did not work requesting for file system
Also floppy drive icon on KDE desktop could not be mounted, requesting for file system.


# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
worked

After
# umount /mnt/floppy

Then
# mount /mnt/floppy
worked

Also floppy drive icon on KDE desktop could be mounted.

I must mount the floppy with 't vfat' first then mounting works eternally until after relogin. I could not discover the trick causing this problem.

Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
