No floppy controller detected 2003-12-09 - By Philippe

Hi,
I just made a fresh RH9 install on a Desktop 1.7 Ghz Celeron. This is
not my first intallation, and I did check the machine before (Monitor,
video card, sound card).
Everything went fine, but I notices no "Floppy " item on the hardware
browser.
Adding it manually in fstab, was removed on the next boot, and I had
time to see the message : /dev/fd0 : no floppy controller detected (or
something like this, I will double-check tomorrow).
So here I am now, with no floppy, quite crucial for my customer.
What am I supposed to do now ?
I will tomorrow upgrade the kernel to the 2.4.20-24.9 last update hoping
this could fixe things ...
Is it a kernel compatibility problem or a motherboard problem ?
I just need some information, as Google did not help me a lot on this.
I will tomorrow check every message, and write down the motherboard
brandname as I did not have enough time tonight.
We never know if someone got a idea about what checking more, I am
"listening " ;-)
Thanks,
Philippe
