I can confirm that floppy media can not be mounted in lucid
uname -a Linux lucidGIGAslow 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 [sudo] password for peter: peter@lucidGIGAslow:~$ ls /media/floppy0 peter@lucidGIGAslow:~$

I don't know, but probably has_media=0 is not quite right - the floppy is in the drive since pc powered up (boots off it); can not mount it, see particulars above.
