using an intel desktop board?

I don't get these errors.
I simply dont get any message but:

	msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error.

I even change my floppy drive and its cable.

fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> port
0x3f7,0x3f4-0x3f5,0x3f2-0x3f3,0x3f0-0x3f1 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

They work fine under ms-dopes/windopes.

Have you solved the problem?
I think it is worth a bug report.
