Thanks for the confirmation which rules out the drive. I've eliminated
bad floppies as they work fine on my other machine (both the original
set and fresh ones I made to doublecheck). This box has a USB hub and
ports, which I gather the generic kernel doesn't support. Could that be
triggering the probe freeze? Enough port/modem detection routines have
locked up this machine that I now always opt for manual input if
possible. Is the probe a shell script and, if so, where can I find it to
see what it's doing?

Henry
