I'm doing building the kernel, but I haven't been able to boot it yet:
That should be "done building".
This system boots the kernel off floppy disks, and under
2.6.17-rc5-mm2, the floppy drive no longer works! The disk spins but
the kernel can't read any of the disk's sectors, even for other
known-working floppies. I'll have to boot back into 2.6.17-rc4-mm3
I notice that I get messages like this in dmesg with each disk access:

The various numbers sometimes change however. I could provide a few
more samples if need be.
