2.4.4-ac10 IDE Floppy Still hangs

[Mihai Moldovanu]

Ok . There still is a problem even in 2.4.4-ac10 with IDE FLoppy .
Here is what i did and errors i got .

[root@m /mnt]# mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip
ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 5a, key =  5, asc = 24, ascq =  0
ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 5a, key =  5, asc = 24, ascq =  0
[root@m /mnt]# mkdir /mnt/zip/test
[root@m /mnt]# sync
( at this point system seems to freeze, but after aprox 1 minute it recovers )
hdd: lost interrupt
ide-floppy: CoD != 0 in idefloppy_pc_intr
hdd: ATAPI reset complete
[root@m /mnt]#

This is my system configuration:

[root@m /mnt]# uname -a
