[mythtv-users] FC2 Kernel update gone wrong

[Ryan Kehoe]

How does one do this step through?  Sorry for my ignorance, I am very new to 
this.

On a subsequent reboot I have received the following output (no GUI screen):
==========================================================
Enabling Swap Space:					[  OK  ]
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting floppy 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko): No such device 
==========================================================

What does this mean?  Again, no hardware changes have been made and my 
floppy drive is still there.  I wouldn't mind disabling it since I never use 
it though.

Does this still appear to be kudzu?  What is kudzu?

Thanks,
Ryan
