Hello again!

The floppy driver and me just married...
Two questions [hopefully first last]:

1) Why does 2.4.18 kernel hangs when I try to boot it from floppy ?
   Symptoms: After 'Loading ... ' progress finished, the disk drive's
   led is still lighting and nothing happens anymore.
   What can be wrong ? CPU is correct (I even tried 386,586,p-classic,p-mmx=
,..),
   it's a P133. And howto fix it?

2) Somebody explain me what changed in vfs, where to find doc and give me s=
ome
   time to fix that damn 2.5 floppy driver. I'm gonna fight it.

3) oops, one more: Can somebody else please fix the apm issue ?

Sincerly,

Nico /* tired, but alive */
