Hi,
Almost every day I see the following warning in the logwatch mail:
> --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------
> WARNING: Kernel Errors Present
> end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector ...: 1 Time(s)
> ---------------------- Kernel End -------------------------
Which doesn't make any sense. Yes, I have a floppy drive. But, I don't
use it. There's no disk in the drive. And, as far as I'm aware, it
does actually work, fine. Not that I've got a disk to test it with, at
the moment.
Does anyone else get the same thing?
Looking through /var/log/messages, I see entries like these:
# grep fd0 /var/log/messages.1
