intel desktop board and floppy drive

[Andrew Thomson]

anyone experience problems mounting floppies using an intel desktop
board??

I've been able to replicate the problem under 4.4 and 5.0

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error

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
fd0: hard error cmd=read fsbn 128 of 128-143 (ST0 44<abnrml,top_head>
