mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device



Yesterday evening I've upgraded to kernel 2.4 on the stable distro (on my IBM Thinkpad 755C), using apt-get but now it seems like I can't get Debian to read the floppies anymore...and this is somehow bad :) cause it doesn't have a CD-ROM or a network card so I can't install packages that I would need.

I keep getting this error when I try to mount a floppy:

end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device

It does that with every floppy, it's not just a bad floppy. Was there something I needed to configure after doing apt-get install kernel-image* ?

Thank you for all your help,
Becky
