The message seems to be generated in /boot/grub/biosdisk.mod from this format string:
%s read error And it *is* probing an empty floppy drive. I only get this error since I enabled the floppy controller to be able to read some ancient software from floppies. I forgot to test with a medium in the drive. But the message will probably go away. Does GRUB2 think it is running from that floppy? I see no other reason why GRUB2 would read the floppy except when it thinks it is a hard disk. But then I don't understand why it is referring to fd0 instead of hd<n>. -- Error scanning for fd0 on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568720 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
