Well I was hoping to see an open() in there on /dev/fd to confirm that
it is hanging up on that floppy. I'm not sure why it would change
between releases of Ubuntu, but if the floppy is the problem, then this
is at its core a hardware configuration issue. It doesn't really make
sense to bother scanning floppies in the first place though, since they
can not be partitioned, so I have submitted a patch upstream to skip
them.
I'll see about merging it into ubuntu.
