Bug#327115: Floppy unexpected interrupt
Package: Kernel
Version: any
Dear Sirs,
I tried out your distro on a laptop PC (Pentium III 900MHz); it is not a
brand PC, it is a Nev@ada PC, thus it is quite easy for me to have
trouble installing GNU/Linux on it, so that till now the only distro
that has been acceptable has been Slackware (both 9.1 and 10.1).
Recently, I decided to try also Debian because it appeared very
impressive (in the positive sense) to me, but I had a bad surprise which
I didn't find with Slackware instead: when I mount the floppy drive I
continuously receive the message: "Floppy unexpected interrupt" together
with some other strange indication like "sensei repl[80]". To try to
solve this problem I put the parameter "floppy=thinkpad" (even if it is
not a thinkpad) in the kernel options in GRUB, but without any success;
after that I tried the kernel parameter
"floppy=no_unexpected_interrupts" and even then I had no result at all.
Please, can you suggest to me a solution of any kind to this problem?
Take note that the kernel installed is the one obtained specifying
linux26 at the installation boot prompt; the problem arised also with
linux24 choosen at boot time at the beginning of the installation.
Thank you a lot and many congratulation: Debian is really great!
