Hi,
Have you tried to manually add the floppy drive to the fstab?

I haven't, being that, reverting to the previous kernel, corrected the problem, I'm sticking with that for the time being. Can't speak for the OP though.

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?

Paul.

Could be. Could floppy support have been removed also? If I look in /media, all drives are there except for floppy.
