hm, that is a really good point, I found in dmesg in in the logfile, |
| 8 |
tones of the following lines: |
| 9 |
Jun 24 06:54:42 idefix-pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 |
| 10 |
Jun 24 06:54:54 idefix-pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 |
| 11 |
Jun 24 06:55:06 idefix-pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 |
| 12 |
Jun 24 06:55:19 idefix-pc kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 |
| 13 |
Jun 24 06:55:19 idefix-pc kernel: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, |
| 14 |
logical block 0 |
| 15 |
|

So it searches on the floppy and seems not to stop here after many hours |
| 17 |
passed. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Regarding the grub-mkconfig man page there is no option available to |
| 20 |
skip floppy check. |
| 21 |
I will try at home if I can speed up the installation procedure with |
| 22 |
--no-floppy. |
| 23 |

Thanks for the tip. |
