In 3.0-current I'm seeing floppy problems on several machines.
They're all manifesting in some kind of

isa_dmastart: cannel 2 busy

which seems to occur as the first message after an fdc error, e.g. door
open or write locked with the next access after fixing the condition
that led to the first error.

In consequence of this I seemed to have had a system crash (reboot w/o panic)
a couple of minutes ago.

Here is an excerpt of my messages file:
