[Xen-devel] Re: [FIXED] Missing FD0 when using XEN kernel with Linux 2.6

We currently don't have support for ISA DMA, which the legacy floppy
driver (as opposed to USB floppy) requires.

We can access floppy drives using PIO, and I modified floppy.h in asm-xen to do this some time ago. So I'm not sure why the OP's controller isn't detected --- adding tracing to drivers/block/floppy.c may help narrow down the problem.

This is now fixed in 2.0-testing and unstable. Thanks for the tracing you sent me, John. It turns out that when I fixed floppy.h for Xen, I mis-transcribed port 0x3f0 as 0x340 so we were trying to talk to the primary controller at the wrong I/O address and got no response.
