I recently upgraded my machine to a pentium-system
(gigabyte ats-board, triton fx430 , AHA2940)
and since I'm using the onboard floppy controller
I'm getting kernel messages like "fdc0: input ready
timeout" from my 2.1.0-RELEASE.

Before the upgrade I used the floppy controller on
my adaptec 1542b without any problems.

At boot time the kernel reports
>fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
>fdc0: NEC 72065B

How do I fix this problem ?

Thanks in advance !
