missing floppy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FC2 installed well and everything seemed to work -- I thought.

I noticed that my floppy drive doesn't work.  I'replaced the drive and cable
with new parts then reinstalled FC2.  The BIOS will boot a DOS floppy, and a
RH9 boot floppy created from on an XP machine.  Attempts to mount the floppy
manually yield "invalid block device".

I am working my way through Michael Jang's RHCE ver8 study guide. but it
doesn't offer much help with this.  I had RH9 on this machine and the
original drive worked fine.

Any suggestions?

I think that having 3 devices share IRQ 10 seems funny, but one thing at a
time.

Thank you.
