Hi!
I have switched a long time ago to linux-2.4 (and even 2.3 series) and I have a wierd problem. I use GRUB to boot my system. Basically, when you want to install GRUB on a floppy disk, you do that:
dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
But since kernel 2.3.xx (I don't remember exactly), I got this error message when I try to do the second dd (even as root): dd: advancing past 1 blocks in output file `/dev/fd0': Permission denied
And this thing works properly when under 2.2.xx...
I try to look a the diff of floppy.c between 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 but at this time, I didn't find anything... -- Mathieu CHOUQUET-STRINGER E-Mail : mchouque@e-steel.com Learning French is trivial: the word for horse is cheval, and everything else follows in the same way. -- Alan J.
