Description Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-08 11:25:22 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.10

 On a certain computer of mine (Frontman) the installation process always hangs for a long time on 'seeking for Linux partitions'. A pstree has revealed that /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null is executed at this time. The thing is that /sbin/blkid /dev/fd0 hangs while /sbin/blkid /dev/sda executes instantaneously. The same is for partprobe. This is due to a floppy controller being installed on the given computer but no actual floppy drive being present. Please change the blkid command execution to only affect /dev/sd* or at least not fd0 so that the installation process can process hang-free.

Reproducible: Always

Could be a duplicate of bug #773058.

Yep, it is.
