If so, maybe there are some settings in the BIOS to switch off > any floppy related stuff - just an idea. Did that - BIOS is set to show the absence of a floppy drive. Despite this, I get these error messages. I remember vaguely that the modules system has an option to "blacklist" a module to stop it from even trying to load, but if I recall correctly that is only for usb hotplug stuff. I have used that functionality to stop the dc2xx camera driver from loading, but it doesnt seem to work for floppy.
