[1.] One line summary of the problem:
2.3.29 onwards cause complete hang on floppy access
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
>From 2.3.29 onwards (inclusive), access to the floppy (read or write),
either "cat /dev/fd0" or through fs after mount, will reliably (although
non-deterministically) cause a total lock up on my UP box (no SysRQ).
No kernel messages get through. fsck usually complains of deleted inodes,
though it's sometime more serious. Floppies are standard 1.44Mb, and work
fine everywhere.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
lockup, floppy
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
2.3.29 and above
[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
Kernel modules 2.3.10
[7.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 5
model : 2
model name : Pentium 75 - 200

[7.5.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
