If the above script takes a very long time to execute, then Martin's
patch is probably the only way to cope with the non-existing floppy
drives: even a open() call takes too long, and the problem must be
fixed in the kernel or somewhere else.

There is also a 4th category which belongs to laptops with a removable

For those of us who actually use floppies this fix is a regression. The

Its reasonable to assume there will be many who will have special
reasons for using floppy disks in the foreseeable future.
Wouldn't it be good, if Ubuntu had an application that could be
executed through a GUI, to detect a computers hardware, in much the same
way as it happens during the OS
I can confirm that the regression to udisks (1.0.1-1build1) will enable
the use of the floppy drive but brings back the original bug. There is
still no solution for a removable floppy drive.

Merely chipping in that this fixed my looong boot problems as well when

Fixes the following 3 issues on a machine with floppy disk controller
but no floppy drive
- delay in udisks startup
- at first login a mount process is hanging around for 18 minutes and
makes the disk light lit continuously for 18 minutes.
Accepted into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Uwe, thank you for the links. I will check them out. I need to make a
