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?
What does your /etc/fstab look like? Is there an entry like
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
If there is no such entry, could you add this entry and try it again? I remember having this problem with RH8. If you have this entry and it contains kudzu, delete the kudzu from it . If kudzu is having problems with the floppy it will update your /etc/fstab an boot time.
I think that having 3 devices share IRQ 10 seems funny, but one thing at a time.
Sharing AFAIK that's normal for some devices.
Thank you. Dwaine
You're welcome :-)
