Support for floppy drives should be compiled as modules. Can you try to load them manually ? You need to load the ide-floppy module... This works for me. Load ide-floppy?! That's meant for drives such as LS-120 IDE Floppy drives. Question: Which kernels have the ACPI floppy patch. There's a typo in it preventing it from working. The typo is using `== 0' instead of `< 0' If the kernel on the LiveCD uses the ACPI floppy patch, then it won't recognize the floppy drive since the success is interpreted as a failure. I think he meant just the floppy module, not ide-floppy. Though in his case he might have an ide-floppy (I do, actually). |
