My floppy drive lights up NOT my LS-120.
Acutally I have. Per your request:
>Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available?
I told you I have no ability to put another OS on this machine nor do I have limitless download from my ISP. Having had Fedora on here once a year ago I'm certainly not going to install it.
Aparently I'm not making myself clear.
I have a FLOPPY DRIVE hooked up to a floppy cable.
My LS-120 is hooked up to IDE.
My hard drive and DVD are SATA.
Per your earlier statment:
>the kernel seems to have recognized the floppy drive, and in turn, your drive was mounted at /dev/fd0
that seems to be the rabbit hole we are going down. fd0 is NOT my ls-120, it is an actual floppy drive. It appears in the "folder" manager but is completely disfunctional from there. The LS-120 only appears there when it actually has a disk inserted.
