Or your device files could be screwed up.  Or maybe it's turned off in
the BIOS.  You could check 'dmesg' to see if Linux finds the drive when
it boots up.  Mine has messages like:

  Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
  FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077

I found this same thing in the boot message so Linux seems to find the device. 
I've suspected that some files may be screwed up for some time. Little things aren't performing as they once did. but over all the system seems to be doing well.



If this is going to get too complicated I may just wait till next month when the new version of SuSE (9.2) is available and reinstall the whole system. I plan to do that anyway.
