Message-ID: <h3ehgd$mti$1@ger.gmane.org> Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:44:19 -0600 From: Robert Hancock <hancockrwd@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Floppy constantly accessed in 2.6.31-rc2 On 2.6.31-rc2 (actually current git as of today) the floppy drive is constantly being accessed with these messages being reported: Platform driver 'floppy' needs updating - please use dev_pm_ops Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 lsof reports no process with /dev/fd0 open so it is not clear what is causing this activity. It looks like the access starts when I log in to X, but doesn't stop when I log out. I'm guessing HAL or something checks the floppy drive and then the kernel somehow gets stuck in a loop retrying the request.. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Commit 5e50b9ef975219304cc91d601530994861585bfe seemed a bit suspicious but reverting it didn't seem to help. (It did get rid of the dev_pm_ops message, though..) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
