Hi Maks!
I am back to you with some news, but first of all many thanks for your
attention.
As I told you, my laptop is a ***@da, more precisely a CLEVO 2700S with
a BIOS SystemSoft MobilePRO Version 1.01 - R1.14 and a Pentium III
Coppermine at 900MHz; it is not a recent one, but I do not think this
should be a problem.
I receive the error message only when the floppy is mounted, the text of
the message is always the same:
floppy0: unexpected interrupt
floppy0: sensei repl[0]=80
The message arises from now to then, sometimes very often, sometimes
less often, apparently without a specific reason or cause. Please would
you note also that I had the same behaviour on that PC even when I
installed Red HAT from 7.3 on and Fedora Core 1 and 3.
I have also some news about Slackware. I went back to Slack 9.1 on that
PC, so the trials I made have been carried out with that distribution.
Even if I did not specify any kernel parameter for the floppy on the
kernel line for the boot, I am able to use it without any problem at
all. Nevertheless, having decided to give you also the results from
dmesg in Slackware, I have seen something that could be interesting for
you; if I give dmesg command before I mount the floppy the result is the
one you may see in dmesgSlackNoFD text file, if I give the same command
after the floppy has been mounted I obtain the textfile dmesgSlack; the
interesting part is the last one in this file, where it is possible to
see the same error message about floppy, even if this error does not
arise at all during the use of the PC, I mean that the only moment when
it arises is the execution of dmesg command; the other strange thing is
that if I repeat the dmesg command after I have unmounted the floppy,
the dmesg command continues to report the same lines with those errors.
Attached to this mail you may find four files: dmesg2.4 and dmesg2.6
have been made with Debian and kernel 2.4 and 2.6 respectively;
dmesgSlack and dmesgSlackNoFD have been made with Slackware 9.1 after
and before the mounting of the floppy, respectively.
Many Many thanks again for your attention and for your great work! Good
Luck!
