I own A21p since one month and with a little help of my friend 
I installed SuSE 7.1 (kernel 2.4) on my laptop.  With 128MB RAM 
it works fine. Now I have 512MB RAM and I experience problems 
with floppy. Can not read/write properly. It brings I/O error 
somewhere between 36 and 44 track out of 80 when I try to format
floppy.  And not to mention that it works under Win2k.

I have allready tried 
	floppy=NODMA
and
	floppy=thinkpad
as well as 
	MEM=128M
Nothing helps.

And see the wonder:
	strace -ff -o /tmp/trash fdformat /dev/fd01440 
works.

Looks like some kind of timing problem.

Do you have any idea about this fenomena?

Thank you in advance!
