Regarding the grub-mkconfig man page there is no option available to skip floppy check. I will try at home if I can speed up the installation procedure with --no-floppy. Thanks for the tip.

I’m getting following error message in my /var/log/message file (some time message is also http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-end_request-ioerror-dev-fd0-sector0/ shown on console):

Jul 05 12:04:05 dell01 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jul 05 12:04:05 dell01 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Jul 05 12:04:18 dell01 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jul 05 12:04:18 dell01 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Jul 05 12:04:30 dell01 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector end_request i/o 0 Jul 05 12:04:42 dell01 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0What do they mean? How do I fix this problem?A. This message appears when you don’t have a floppy drive attached to Linux server. Solution is quite simple just disable driver for floppy and reboot the system. You can verify this with the following command (this solution works with RHEL, CentOS, Redhat, Ubuntu/Debian and other end_request i/o error Linux distros) : # lsmod | grep -i floppy Output:floppy 95465 0Open file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: # vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Listing a module (driver name) in this file prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it. Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead, no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user mode tools can also control driver binding. Append following line: blacklist floppy Save and close the file. Now reboot the Linux server: # reboot Share this tutorial on:TwitterFacebookGoogle+Download PDF version Found an error/typo on this page?About the author: Vivek Gite is a seasoned sysadmin and a trainer for the Linux/Unix & shell scripting.
