Re: 3.5 " drives
They won't be "seen" until you insert a diskette. So, are you saying, that even with a diskette inserted, the drive does not show up?Windows no longer obstruct my view.

Re: 3.5 " drives
Code:sudo modprobe floppy
One is left only to wonder, what are those teeny, tiny files that you put on a floppy diskette?

Re: 3.5 " drives
It's amazing (to me) that "the developers" consider the floppy drive passe - which must be the case when the kernel is sans the module "by default." :PWindows no longer obstruct my view.

Re: 3.5 " drives
It is a kernel bug > Bug #255651: floppy disk drive not detected (module not loaded) in Intrepid Alpha 4 kernel 2.6.27-2
or
Bug #254009: Unable to mount floppy drives in Intrepid
or
Bug #278875: floppy module not loadedBefore you edit, BACKUP !
Why there are dead links ?

Re: 3.5 " drives
No. modprobe adds the module to the kernel so it is available when you boot into that kernel.Originally posted by Little_Bear2Windows no longer obstruct my view.

Re: 3.5 " drives
Snowhog is correct, as usual. The module is installed, until you upgrade to a new kernel. I guess we'll see whether the kernel devs are swamped by a public outcry for a return of a default floppy drive capability -- I'm not betting much on that one.

LB, I don't think it was an accident. I think floppy drive support is going where tape drive support is .... :POriginally posted by Little_Bear2Comment

Re: 3.5 " drives
Which, unfortunately, I think is correct. To bad too. Follows the current trend of PC manufacturers to not include a floppy drive - everything is going to CD/DVD instead. At least one can still purchase external floppy drives - I have one - - my current laptop didn't come with a floppy drive.Originally posted by diblWindows no longer obstruct my view.
