My floppy drive lights up NOT my LS-120.


Acutally I have.  Per your request:
>Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available?

I told you I have no ability to put another OS on this machine nor do I
have limitless download from my ISP.  Having had Fedora on here once a
year ago I'm certainly not going to install it.

Aparently I'm not making myself clear.

I have a FLOPPY DRIVE hooked up to a floppy cable.
My LS-120 is hooked up to IDE.
My hard drive and DVD are SATA.

Per your earlier statment:
>the kernel seems to have recognized the floppy drive, and in turn, your drive 
>was mounted at /dev/fd0

that seems to be the rabbit hole we are going down.  fd0 is NOT my
ls-120, it is an actual floppy drive.  It appears in the "folder"
manager but is completely disfunctional from there.  The LS-120 only
appears there when it actually has a disk inserted.
