My script (like all hotplug scripts) find that there's a floppy controller reading from /sys/bus/pnp/devices, but then in modules.isapnpmap there's nothing that tell what module is related to that IDs. I don't know how the floppy module works, I don't know if these module is related only to isapnp floopy controller or it manage other kinds. If it's only related to isapnp floppy controllers then it can easily patched like I've did with rtc, pcspkr and psmouse. If you are sure that this is the right way to do the things I'll do a patch for it too.
