Bug Description

udev doesn't load the "floppy" kernel module for my floppy driver. When I load it manually /dev/fd0 is created and a floppy icone appear in nautilus's computer:///.

I'm running dapper flight3 dist-upgraded to currently dapper version. I've removed cdrom and floppy entries from /etc/fstab and removed /media/floppy* and /media/cdrom* mount point, like that I see in nautilus all the HAL devices and they are mounted correctly when I click on them (mount point removed when unmounting). It works perfectly after "modprobe floppy".

Sorry if it isn't an udev bug, I don't know exaclty who is responsible of detecting hw.
