I am not using pcmcia, as this is a desktop with ISDN (Fritz! PCI ISDN
card), but I only get more verbose error messages with the
/dev/fd0CompaQ :
#> mount /dev/fd0CompaQ /mnt/floppy
#> floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 3, size 2
#> floppy0: sector not found: track 0, head 0, sector 3, size 2

I will attempt a recompile with floppy as a module (as RH 2.2.16-22 did
... /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/block/ide-floppy.o), and see if
'ide-floppy.o' and the new 2.4.1 modutils will help resolve this problem
(unless my sad Compaq Presario 5000 BIOS IRQ setup is to blame :-(
