   broken floppy driver                   open               23 Sep 2002

I was able to duplicate the broken behaviour prior to 2.5.39 but haven't 
been able to test the latest bk revision.  I will test it further this 
weekend.

   ide double init                        open               19 Sep 2002

Several developers seem to have an idea where the breakage may be, but an 
update hasn't been posted.  What is the status?

   modular IDE broken                     open               24 Sep 2002

Alan Cox rightly points out that fixing modular IDE should wait until IDE 
support has been cleaned up and works reliably.  I haven't been able to 
break IDE since the "new" IDE layer was implemented.  I'm inclined to keep 
this around unless there is an objection.

Should this be kept open?
