I also faced the similar problem with Debian Etch. It started appearing when I removed my FDD from MoBo. I used to press `sysrq' to kill that process and continue with further processes. But for this `sysrq' means pressing `Print Screen' on keyboard and not `Alt+PrintScreen' combination. I think we need to pass a kernel parameter for `not to read fd0' . I am not sure though. I remember reading `kernel-parameters.txt' in Linux kernel documentation. I forgot the parameter name, I couldn't solve the problem either. The name of the parameter is there in the error which is displayed every time. -- With Regards Abhishek Amberkar Born To Be Free...
