Jeremy Foshee: My IBM Thinkpad T43 has BIOS Version 1.29 (70ET69WW) and BIOS Date 2007-05-29.
dmesg showed the lines: "
[ 61.501944] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 74.570717] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 89.462092] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 102.526178] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 102.526191] __ratelimit: 12 callbacks suppressed
[ 102.526198] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[ 115.590787] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

[ 141.718485] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[ 154.782160] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0"
and so on although I do not have any floppy disk drive.
In my BIOS > Floppy Drives > Legacy Floppy Drives I switched 'Enabled' to 'Disabled'. The associated text reads: "Disables diskette drive connector."
Now dmesg does not show fd0 related entries any more.
