Version: 3.3.89 (CVS >= 20041104) (using KDE 3.3.89 (CVS >= 20041104), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9 When using non-standard device names, kfloppy will simply not work. This may happen if: 1) the devices are named "universal" instead of high-density, for 3.5" drives. Instead of /dev/fd0h1440, you have /dev/fd0u1440. 2) devfs. The device is named /dev/floppy/0u1440.
Point 1 should work, as /dev/fd0u1440 is a fallback. As for point 2, what are the other formats named /dev/floppy/0u720 for example? (Note: bug #94392 is supposed to change exactly the same code.) Have a nice day!
CVS commit by goutte: - fix errounous device names for floppy 1 (It accessed floppy 0 instead). (This is perhaps what was meant by point 1 of bug #94147) - add some alternate floppy device names CCBUG:94147 M +5 -5 format.cpp 1.19 --- kdeutils/kfloppy/format.cpp #1.18:1.19 @@ -167,11 +167,11 @@ void KFActionQueue::queue(KFAction *p) #ifdef ANY_LINUX const char *fd0H1440[] = { "/dev/fd0h1440", "/dev/fd0H1440", "/dev/fd0u1440", 0L } ; -const char *fd0D720[]={ "/dev/fd0u720", "/dev/fd0D720", 0L }; +const char *fd0D720[] = { "/dev/fd0u720", "/dev/fd0D720", "/dev/fd0h720", 0L }; const char *fd0h1200[]={ "/dev/fd0h1200", 0L }; -const char *fd0h360[]={ "/dev/fd0h360", 0L }; -const char *fd1H1440[] = { "/dev/fd1h1440", "/dev/fd1H1440", "/dev/fd0u1440", 0L } ; -const char *fd1D720[]={ "/dev/fd0u720", "/dev/fd1D720", 0L }; +const char *fd0h360[] = { "/dev/fd0h360", "/dev/fd0h360", "/dev/fd0d360", 0L }; +const char *fd1H1440[] = { "/dev/fd1h1440", "/dev/fd1H1440", "/dev/fd1u1440", 0L } ; +const char *fd1D720[] = { "/dev/fd1u720", "/dev/fd1D720", "/dev/fd1h720", 0L }; const char *fd1h1200[]={ "/dev/fd1h1200", 0L }; -const char *fd1h360[]={ "/dev/fd1h360", 0L }; +const char *fd1h360[] = { "/dev/fd1u360", "/dev/fd1h360", "/dev/fd1d360", 0L }; const char *fd0auto[] = { "/dev/fd0", 0L }; const char *fd1auto[] = { "/dev/fd1", 0L };

My last 5 ¼" drive is 3 computers back, so I don't know anymore how they're named. I do believe they have the naming is: s,/dev/fd,/dev/floppy/, So, /dev/fd0h1200 should be /dev/floppy/1h1200. Not sure, though.
CVS commit by goutte: Add 1.2MB device in the case of devfs (For what I understand of the Linux floppy driver, there is only h1200, not any u1200.)
