Disclaimer: the following is a wild guess; I don't run 5.x.

Do you have ACPI enabled?  If so, try disabling it.

On my 4.9 system, if I have APM enabled, I can't use the floppy drive.
IIRC ACPI is what 5.x has instead of APM, and it might have the same
issues.  Or not.  I really don't know.  As I said, wild guess.
