Well, the documentation says "insert the driver and the kernel will find
it." I have a hard time believing that... it seems to have worked for
you, but all I get is the detection of the hard disk drive, and the CD-ROM
drive:
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3840A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: FX810S, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3840A, 3681MB w/76kB Cache, CHS=935/128/63
hdc: ATAPI 8X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.55
floppy0: no floppy controllers found
Now, I have the floppy controller totally disabled since I no longer have
a use for it. But I'm stuck using Windows for now if I want to use
floppies or LS-120 discs, until the Linux driver will find it.

That's what I have, too.

Been there, done that.

Yep. That's what the docs say. But that isn't the case for my system,
apparently.
I guess I'll browse through the kernel source code, find the author of the
code, and ask him/her how to troubleshoot so that I can get the thing to
work. I know it's not the hardware, 'cuz it works just fine in DOS and
Windows.
