Subject: [PATCH] "blk: request botched" error on floppy write
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 14:37:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <794001c34e24$d8f83440$7f0a0a0a@lappy7> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 294 bytes --]
The floppy drive appears to be working for some people with the
2.6 kernel as is. However, there have also been reports of some
problems (see http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654 )
The attached patch against 2.6.0-test1 fixes the problem on all the
machines i've tested.
Cheers,
Sean
