[Bug 59470] Re: IO Error's in /dev/fd0. I don't have a floppy disk.

I have the same problem.

Gparted freez on "Scanning all devices..." if floppy module is loaded. This modules is loaded on bootup, even if I do not have any floppy device pluged. (tested on the liveCD and on a fresh edgy install)
If I unload floppy module before launching gparted (sudo modprobe -r floppy), everythig goes well :)

I do not have this problem with dapper. It is also fixed if I downgrade
to gparted 0.1 on edgy.

The bug seems to be known:

I also attach the output of dmesg.
