GENERIC in 6.2 has the same problem.
I trimmed it down (substantially) and my floppy drive is detected again.

This is on a Supermicro P8SCT board with a P4-531 vs the Athlon64 system I saw 
it on before - both are amd64 kernels though.

This kernel works.. (trimmed heavily)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4433534  617512  271328 5322374  513686 kernel

This one doesn't.. (some stuff added back)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4709507  651688  278624 5639819  560e8b kernel

This one does.. (no Firewire, with USB)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4622780  643624  278496 5544900  549bc4 kernel

This one does.. (no USB, with Firewire)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4520517  625576  271456 5417549  52aa4d kernel

I did the USB/Firewire thing just to make sure one wasn't  the direct cause.
