Hi
 I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.1.5.
 The options to the kernel configurations were not much different to
 the kernel 2.1.0
 However, in 2.1.5, whenever I try to mount the floopy by
 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
 the computer crashes with a page fault.
 This never occured in 2.1.0.
 I checked out the boot mesg on both kernels and both detects the floppy
 the same way..
 any idea what's making this crash?
