Grepping in my enourmous mailbox archive, I found a post similar to
yours, maybe FROM you, with this kind of suggestion. Do not work?

Sorry, Alf: I read all your logfile, but can't help you. Surely,
the floppy? switch do not produce additional info in kernel boot
log. It affect only the floppy_setup() in the kernel, with no
additional messages. Maybe, in newer kernel, thinkpad support
is better. Also your problem about disk geometry are for me
japanese. Try to specifiy hd= geometry, in addition to floppy=
switch. I think also will be a good idea to contact some Linux
newsgroup, because this problem is surely solved by someone.
