Same thing with floppy device.

Should be fixed in 2.1.12 (fingers crossed).
Oh, would somebody care to check out the new 1.06 Quake/i386 release? Does it give comparable performance as the previous release? Do things actually work? It's on ftp.cs.helsinki.fi:pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/testing, but I hope somebody will mirror it. I haven't really had time to test it, and I'm not going to take the time either as I'm still supposed to do my thesis..
