I can confirm this issue on Dell Latitude C640 and Ubuntu 7.10 (final). Also on one more computer (I don't know brand). Both computers don't have floppy installed and don't have option in bios to disable floppy controller. The boot halts for about 2 minutes, displaying messages like end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
I think this should certainly have higher priority, because to user it seems that Ubuntu is frozen. And he will probably conclude that Ubuntu simply doesn't run on his computer. -- [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 the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
