While formatting the disk in the 3.5" floppy disk drive, the following error message appears:
Can't open /dev/fd0H1440: No such device or address Cannot initialize 'A:'
The device name has been changed in every 3.5" floppy disk drive. These devices were named before
/dev/fd?H???The `H' has been replaced by `u', so that the devices are now named
/dev/fd?u???.
In any case (e.g. when formatting) the
/dev/fd?h???
devices should not be used, because they are
meant for the
5.25" floppy drives, and then errors may appear while reading (or while
verifying after formatting).
This is a change that does not come from S.u.S.E., but it was first introduced with the newest kernels (pre 2.0.x).
