Huh???

<Sigh> Looks like the merge from Paul's tree in 2.4.7-ac3 either wasn't
complete, or Paul backed out one of my patches. At least the following
code existed in Paul's tree six months ago. You are logging a bogus error
message because the drive is bouncing an optional
IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE ATAPI packet. This can be ignored. False
alarm. Try the following patch, which suppresses this crap.
