-   I have successfully installed ML 8.1. I am impressed!

I have one issue with the Mandrake sys config tool. When I click on "Mount Points", I get a timeout error.
So, I attempted to run diskdrake from the command line with the following resulting message:

[root@localhost root]# diskdrake
modprobe: Can't locate module floppy
modprobe: Can't locate module ide-floppy
insmod'ing module ide-floppy failed at /usr/lib/libDrakX/modules.pm line 532.
[root@localhost root]

Any ideas?

Thanks

-   Look for a setting in your BIOS called 'Swap A/B on Floppy' and enable it,
and see if that resolves the problem.

-   I have only one real floppy drive. The other drive is a LS 120.
I did try the "Floppy swap" to no avail. I am up against a brick
wall on this one at the moment...

-   Could you try disconnecting the LS120, and see if it responds without it
installed?

 
HddHakker : 09/12/01 10:59 PM : More info provided
-   I disconnected the LS120 and now diskdrake will run. I still get the message

modprobe: Can't locate module floppy

but diskdrake seems to work ok.

Any ideas what is going on? I am curious... :-)
