udev doesn't seem to pick up the floppy drive
 

(Debian 3.1)
I've found that when running the 2.6.8-2-386 kernel image, udev doesn't create any floppy device nodes in /dev. The drive works and is actually accessible from an fd0 node I accidentally created in a different directory to /dev, and works as normal in the 2.4 kernel where udev does not run.
So presumably for some reason udev isn't picking up that there is a floppy drive for it to configure, either that or something obscure (to me) is configured to somehow disallow it. I don't know what could've done that though except maybe the Bastille scripts but basically I don't have a clue. Surely, if the drive is there it should at least get a node created even if the permissions aren't what I want?

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

modprobe floppy

Oh dear.. yep working now, thanks :)
