Situation: Making new RedHat installation diskettes to install on a friend's P5-133.
Command: dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0H1440 bs=1k
Under 2.1.7, after command completion and 'sync' ran twice, and floppy removed: Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:1c, sector 2720 Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:1c, sector 2722 Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:1c, sector 2724 Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation Nov 2 14:15:21 lucretia kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:1c, sector 2726
This continues for a while, then:
Nov 2 14:19:40 lucretia kernel: warning: usage count=0, CURRENT=c01c9360 exiting Nov 2 14:19:40 lucretia kernel: sect=288 cmd=1
Resulting disk is not usable.
Do same command/sequence under 2.0.22, and it works like it should. :)
