problems with floppy drive in slack 9.1
Hello all,
I am running slackware 9.1 on a panasonic toughbook laptop, and am having a problem mounting my floppy drive. First, I know the floppy drive is okay, because I use a boot disk to start up my system. The fstab on my system seems to be okay, and has the usual /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto, owner 0 0 line for the floppy in it. When I try to mount the floppy, the system stops for a while, and after a few minutes prints /dev/fd0: Invalid argument. I am using the kernel 2.4.20, and everything else is working fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks P.S. I ran the dmesg command and found that I am getting a whole bunch of lines like end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 and some other lines look like FAT: unable to read boot sector Hope this additional info might help you guys. |

AFAIK there should not be a space between the comma after noauto and owner.......... Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 |
Sorry, that wan't exactly my fstab line. There isn't a space there.
