malfunctioning floppy drive
Every now and then I post a message in case anyone can help me solve the
problem of the floppy drive malfunctioning.
I have Digital Server 7305 and 3000 which have the same problem.
The floppy drive is recognised by SRM during start-up and "SHOW DEV" reports
the device as if it is OK.
The activity light stays on constantly, after start-up.
Red Hat 7.2 sees the floppy, but can't mount it.
Because the machines are so different and both Digital, I wonder if anyone
can suggest a solution to this problem?
I would like to change the RAID configuration / reflash the firmware(s), but
I can't load the programs from the CD-ROM drive.
Someone suggested to me this issue might be due to firmware or SRM.
Any help would be welcome.
Simon
