With 2.2.15 its the same as with 2.2.16 while loading the module.
With media in drive:
root@nexus:~# modprobe ide-floppy
hdd: The drive reports both 126222336 and 126877696 bytes as its capacity
Without media:
root@nexus:~# modprobe ide-floppy
hdd: The drive reports both 126222336 and 0 bytes as its capacity
The only difference from 2.2.15 to 2.2.16 is that the device for the
ls-120 is no longer created.
I'm using Debian 2.1 with glibc 2.1.3, Kernel 2.2.16 with devfs, int1,
openwall and reiserfs. Tomorrow I'll try 2.2.16 only with devfs and without
the other patches.
