Device fd0

2010-11-29 Thread Clark Chapman 
When I try to access the floppy drive I get a kernel panic. For example

fdformat /dev/fd0.1440

I am running release 2.8.2. There was no problem with 2.6. I tried
changing the drive and the cable but that made no difference.

Thanks

You need to provide more information, such as, at least, the backtrace 
of the panic. Ideally even a kgdb backtrace of a kernel core (or simply 
the core.txt.N).
