  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  Hi,

  CPU: Intel Core-i7 960
  Motherboard: GA-X58-UD5 (X58 Express Chipset)

  
  What happend:

  I installed Ubuntu Studio 11.04, release candidate as of 2011-04-23.
  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/5606

  And the installation process didn't proceed because of floppy disk drive
  issue.

  
  What I did:

  I enabled floppy disk drive in Bios function but don't use the drive, do
  not connect the drive.

  I ran installer and the installer was not proceeded just after DHCP
  detection.

  Then I move to text console to push F4 key. The text concole report
  "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0". I guess this is an issue of
  floppy disk drive.

  I reboot my system and went to bios section and change the setting to
  disable floppy disk drive. Then the installer proceeded.

  
  What I expected:

  I can install Ubuntu till maverick the same settings to enable floppy
  disk drive and without connecting it to my system. The installer should
  run as the same circumstanses.
