Hello guys !
Here is the problem :
| Quote: |
root@calvin dev # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
root@calvin dev # ls /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0
root@calvin dev # file /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: block special (2/0)
root@calvin dev # grep VFAT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
|
Any ideas ??
Thank you. |

| Did you include Floppy support in the ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL section? |

Is your floppy drive attached to an IDE controller ? (most floppies are not)
If you have a normal floppy drive / controller, you should look for this option in .config
| Code: | | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y |
