Cannot mount floppies in Squeeze
Hello list,
Just found out I cannot mount floppies in Squeeze.
I am on uptodate x86 kernel,
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-35
$ su -c'mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0' # or
$ mount /floppy
Puts out in messages ...
[ 8744.146621] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT
filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
But no floppy is really mounted
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 3818640 3431832 1162828 76% /
tmpfs 123336 0 123336 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 118924 180 118744 1% /dev
tmpfs 123336 0 123336 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sr1 663552 663552 0 100% /media/cdrom1
as it should as per fstab
$ cat /etc/fstab | grep floppy
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Is there a floppy support in 2.6.32-5-686 at all?
In /boot/config-2.6.32-5-686
There is no floppy module set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
....
#
# Please see Documentation/ide/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives
#
CONFIG_IDE_XFER_MODE=y
CONFIG_IDE_ATAPI=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_IDE_GD=m
CONFIG_IDE_GD_ATA=y
CONFIG_IDE_GD_ATAPI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DELKIN=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=m
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEACPI is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set
CONFIG_IDE_PROC_FS=y
....
Also noticed kernel boots with SCSI devices
/dev/sda.. /dev/sr..
But my hardware is IDE/ATAPI based.
How do I enable IDE on Squeeze?
Many thanks.
