I'm experiencing something interesting.

2.0.34 with Gadi's ide-floppy patch. (Patch submited for .34, I think it is now
in .35pre) I'm not sure if this problem was present in .33

LRP routers with LS-120 floppy's. (No HD at all)
One is a very old 486 DX2 66 with a little idiot floppymax ide board.
The other is a brand new A-BIT AX5(?) with onboard IDE

If I attempt to mount a disk when the drive is empty I will see an oops.
It will then no longer mount anything. A mount -t msdos /dev/hdg /mnt yields:
hdg: bad access: block=0, count=2
end_request: I/O error, dev 22:00, sector 0
FAT bread failed
Mount /dev/hdg (type msdos) on /mnt: wrong filesystem type, or bad superblock on
/dev/hdg

The only rememdy to get it mounting things again is a reboot.

This does not happen on my workstation however. The two differences that come to
mind
#1 my system does not have atapi-floppy BIOS support.
#2 my kernel DOES have triton DMA ide support.
