Hmm. That's quite normal and unrelated to the above commit (which fixed something i've committed a couple of days ago). What you're seeing is that sysinstall probes all devices it can find, thus also the floppy drives. If you don't have any medium in the drive, the attempt to query the medium density will fail. It just reminds me that bde asked me months ago to remove the autoselection message. Originally i found it a good thing to know which medium size the kernel had detected; meanwhile i think they are merely annoying, too. :) I'll hide them behind "if (bootverbose)". -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
