Thank you all for working on this issue. I'm still new to Linux commands so I'm not fully understanding all of the above. But, I have a related question and I'm not sure if it belongs here or not. The reason I got to this particular bug report is because, disabling the floppy in BIOS was the recommended solution for Lucid not recognizing my usb flash drive, i.e. it won't mount and doesn't show up as an icon in PLACES. The thought was that the search for the floppy (that doesn't exist) was some how messing up the ability to recognize the usb connections.
By the way blacklisting the floppy dropped my boot time from 1 m 15 s to 52 seconds. It is 48 seconds in Karmic. However, blacklisting the floppy did nothing to solve the usb flash not mounting problem. Through trial and error, I've figured out that the usb flash won't mount if I have my usb wireless plugged it. The flash drive will mount if it is already plugged in when I boot. Do you think this is related to this particular bug? I didn't find an existing bug that addresses the usb flash drive not mounting. -- probing a non-existing floppy causes long boot delays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
