Subject[bug report] 2.1.7 -> Floppy problems
Date
From

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. :)
