End_request: i/o error [ SOLVED ]

[Dar-es-Salaam]

Hi

For some time now, infact since I installed LDME I have had the following error message on my boot up screen

[ 6.1280813 end_request: i/o error, dev fd0 ]

any ideas what it is.

Ordinarily /dev/fd* would be a floppy disk controller.

Hi rich_roast,

Thanks for that, Just wondered what it was and if could be stopped, everything works ok so it doesn't matter

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

There's normally an entry around the cdrom0 one for a floppy just comment it out or delete it

proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

I had the same problem after a fresh install. But i didn't have any refference to fd0 in my fstab. Anyway, after googling a bit, I solved the question with this:

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf && sudo rmmod floppy && sudo update-initramfs -u

Note: I don't have any floppy disk

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf && sudo rmmod floppy && sudo update-initramfs -u

lleiria, thanks.
I can confirm the problem (LMDE 32-bit), and that the above code fixed it. The code was originally posted here.
