I don't know if it's the same error, but there seems to be a problem 
with the floppy driver and ACPI. At least I have a problem on various 
machines with SiS chipsets (735, 746). The problem seems to be 
ACPI-related, because it only occurs when I boot with ACPI enabled. The 
message at boot time:

    fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3

The same machine with non-ACPI kernel:

    fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> \
     at port 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
    fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
    fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

I guess these machines have a broken ACPI-BIOS?
