Greetings,
I was just minding my own business the other day when I decided to
write a file to my floppy drive using FC3. Much to my surprise the
icon I always found under "computer" was gone. Looked in /etc/fstab
and found no reference. I had just used it 2 weeks ago. Could an
update have removed it for some reason? The same thing happened to my
other FC3 box. What is the exact entry I need to put this back into
/etc/fstab?
Thanks,
Steve
Yes, same issue here on fc3 :-( I found the culprit to be the Jul 15th
kernel 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 update. Surprisingly, it's not an selinux
issue, as rebooting with selinux disabled, makes no difference.
Reverting back to the previous kernel, kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC3, corrected
the problem for me. BTW, notice below, the size difference between these
two kernels. Almost 11Mb!!

Perhaps that's because the latest kernel splits off a substantial part
of the original package into a separate kernel-devel package as per FC4?
