tlug: Help! Floppy disk disaster!

[Matt Gushee <matt@example.com>]

Hi, Folks--

Here's what's happening:

$ mount /mnt/floppy
Segmentation fault

(yes, my fstab is set up to allow this ... and I tried a couple of
different disks)

# mount /mnt/floppy
Segmentation fault

# mount /dev/hda15
[no problem]

# mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0
Segmentation fault

# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
Segmentation fault

Anyone have an idea where to start looking for the cause of this? I
haven't upgraded my kernel or libc in the last 2 or 3 months, and the
floppy was definitely working a week ago.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
