Thank you for looking into this. I checked backed up syslog messages
when the computer still ran Jaunty. Jaunty also detected a floppy
drive while booting but I can't remember it showing up in Gnome. Would
it help if I checked how the computer is wired internally? Maybe the
fd controller is connected to something else.
Possibly related and with more log files: bug #459945.
