    Hi,

    my floppy disc drive does not work. I was ignoring this fact until today,
    because I need to write something to a floppy. It's probably clashing with
    something ACPI is claiming:

    [during boot]
    fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
    fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3
    fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports)

    [devinfo -u]
        0x3f0-0x3f1 (acpi_sysresource0)
        0x3f2-0x3f5 ----
        0x3f6 (ata0)
        0x3f7 (root0)

    How can I get tell ACPI to free those two I/O ports? It works fine when I
    disable ACPI, but disabling ACPI is not an option, because X does not
    start without it. I need floppy under X.

    I searched mailing list archives and exactly this same problem was
    discussed back in summer 2001. I can't believe no solutions have been made
    since then.

    [uname -a]

    i386

    I'll provide any other debug information needed.
