Red Hat 6.2 + updates (plus local hacks, like binutils-2.10.0.33) on sparc64 (Ultra 1).
When booting, it detects the floppy drive (I left a floppy in by mistake, the floppy is OK, and the same boots fine with 2.2.18):
[snip snap] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
after this, it just gives the "no cont in shutdown!" message after a few seconds, and stays stuck AFAICS (not much patience, I'm afraid). This message is inside drivers/block/floppy.c:floppy_shutdown(), a file that hasn't changed from 2.2.18 to 2.2.19pre3.
BTW, the floppy here (and also on sparc32) normally gives:
$ mdir init: set default params Cannot initialize 'A:'
the first time around, the second time it works OK. A too short timeout in mtools or in the kernel perhaps? -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
