This might have been mentioned before, but I don't see anything on homer about it, so I'll let you know what I have.
This afternoon, I experienced a series (well, 4 of 'em) of seemingly repeatable kernel panics while trying to mount a floppy disk.
Running Linux 2.0.0 ; P5/100,16 Mb+16 Mb swap; Mount version 2.5j. I have the floppy driver compiled as a module ; installed using kerneld, which gives me no problems.
The floppy was ext2 formatted. I ran e2fsck -c (v1.04) on the floppy and it turned up a bad block...but it doesn't look like I lost anything on the floppy or my HD -- the first crash locked up while in X...but I got it to lock up at the console bash prompt.
Here's what the syslog tells me:
(at the time of the first crash -- I got a whole series of these with increasing sector #'s) Jun 28 06:05:36 darkstar linux: 6>inserting floppy driver for 2.0.0 Jun 28 06:08:02 darkstar kernel: floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation Jun 28 06:08:02 darkstar kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 10
(later, next crash) Jun 29 16:34:23 darkstar linux: 6>inserting floppy driver for 2.0.0 Jun 29 16:34:25 darkstar kernel: floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 8, size 2 Jun 29 16:34:26 darkstar kernel: floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 8, size 2 Jun 29 16:34:26 darkstar kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 7
(one of the kernel panic messages) Jun 29 17:15:13 darkstar kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 0 Jun 29 17:15:21 darkstar kernel: EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended Jun 29 17:15:22 darkstar kernel: floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 8, size 2 Jun 29 17:15:22 darkstar kernel: floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 8, size 2 Jun 29 17:15:22 darkstar kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 7 Jun 29 17:15:22 darkstar kernel: Kernel panic: EXT2-fs panic (device 02:00): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3
...looking at the log, I did get kernel panic messages for all the crashes all with the same "cannot read block bitmap" message and values.

just thought you'd like to know :-)
