This is one of the most annoying bugs. Blacklisting floppy module in the initrd will stop system from pausing for 1+ minute(s) on an non-existent floppy drive. No reason it needs to be there because who uses floppy to load drivers?
Once the livecd reaches the desktop the floppy is available (lsmod | grep floppy shows it is loaded), eg don't blacklist in squashfs. This will stop the annoying pauses but still allow floppy to function in the OS. -- [feisty] kernel boot delayed 60 secs on floppy error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
