So I tried to set back up my auto-detect stuff after installing OS 4.1 Update 1, but all I get from FDTool is this:

11.Boot:> fdtool
couldn't open floppy device unit 0, err = -1

Doesn't matter what command line options I use either, all the same result. I do have a 1.44 MB floppy disk plugged in that worked fine under OS4.1 (with FDTool as well) as unit 0 before I installed Update 1. This is on an AmigaOne XE G4, using the on-board floppy controller.

Any ideas?

Solution: A1Floppy.device.kmod is commented out in OS 4.1.1 Kicklayout by default. Removing the comment and cold booting fixes it.

@DWolfman

Maybe you have disabled the a1floppy.device or something like that?

@DWolfman

Visit SYS:Kickstart/Kicklayout and remove the ; in front of a1floppy.device.kmod. save and make a hard reset.

@ZeroG

OK, tried that.

No change.

Also, mounting either FD0 or PC0 from Storage/DosDrivers fails with "Error -1".

I compared a1floppy.device.kmod with my old one, and they have the same size and datestamps.

@NutsAboutAmiga

No, I haven't disabled it, but it was commented out in kicklayout. Thing is it was like that by default, as I did not put it there.

Tried changing it per ZeroG's suggestion, but it still doesn't work after the reboot.

You did do cold boot to reload the kernel modules or not?

Doh! I did a warm boot.

Be back in a bit...
