Hi! Facing a strange problem about not being able to access the floppy drive after booting from a rescue-floppy with 2.2.x kernel on an asus p4te mainboard, i searched the net and found a bug in the bootsector of the 2.2.x kernels. Before control is redirected to the kernel, the floppy drive is shut down in a way, that freezes the FD-Controller on recent mainboards (like the ASUS P4T-E).

Hi all! I'm trying to install a suse-linux via network on a machine with a asus p4te-mainboard (BIOS-rev 1005).
