SilverSurfer60 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I've been running Mandriva 2008 on my Satellite s1800 for a few weeks now, and working quite well. An annoying problem is that after suspend-to-disk the floppy drive is continually being accessed on resume. The problem seems to manifest during the suspend-to-disc as I find the following in syslog upon resume Jan 13 17:32:57 tosh kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 This happens even with no disc in the drive. I still use floppies now and then as I don't have flashy flash drives. I could put up with this but once in this state I cannot mount a floppy, unless I open mcc and close it again. This releases the drive. Any ideas anybody please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Is harddrake running? If it is, try disabling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thank you Scarecrow, disabled harddrake with exactly the same result. Did a cold boot after battery removal and total power-down. No change I'm afraid. It seems like this is an oddball as there are not many suggestions. Any others are more than welcome.

SilverSurfer60 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Sussed it. Set to allow all users to mount/unmout the the drive. Works a treat now. [solved] Edited January 16, 2008 by SilverSurfer60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
