[jaunty] Floppy - read and write fails

[drakesoft]

System: Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 with updates [ 26.03.09 ]
Everthing I do with a floppydisc fails, I tried it with several disks and floppy devices:

If I format the floppydisc:
root@schorsch:/home/maxe# fdformat /dev/fd0
Doppel-seitig, 80 Spuren, 18 Sektoren pro Spur. Gesamtkapazität 1440 kB.
Formatieren … Beendet
Überprüfe ... Problem beim Lesen von Zylinder 1, es wurde 18432 erwartet, aber 2048 gelesen

If I write an Image to a floppydisc:
root@schorsch:/home/maxe# dd if='/home/maxe/Desktop/DRDFLASH.IMG' of=/dev/fd0
dd: Schreiben in „/dev/fd0“: Input/output error
41+0 Datensätze ein
40+0 Datensätze aus
20480 Bytes (20 kB) kopiert, 3,67766 s, 5,6 kB/s

And I cant use the floppydevice in Virtualbox.

On a other OS this work perfektly. I think I can exclude a hardware failure.

Hi drakesoft,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 349593

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
