Well the dmesg seems pretty clear. The floppy drive looks bad, though I don't know exactly what the error signifies. Does it work in other operating systems? Even if it did that's no indication it's not about to die. If the device fails like that in probes, no mounting of it will help. Try putting in a new floppy drive.
