Hmm, that's unfortunate.  This suggests the end_request error really is
relevant to the hang.  I'll now grasp at straws.  For a more rigorous
response log a bug with the guys who made that kernel build.

1.  see if there is a BIOS version update.

2.  see if there is a BIOS setting for "disabling" the floppy drive,
even though it isn't physically present.

3.  if the system has hald running, (obviously with a working kernel),
then try disabling polling on the non-existent floppy drive ...

	% sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/fd0
