weird. mine says this at bootup running the stock RH 5.2 kernel:

Dec 02 19:33:44 lothar kernel: hdd: LS-120 CSMO 05 UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
Dec 02 19:33:44 lothar kernel: hdd: 123264kB, 963/8/32 CHS, 533 kBps, 512 sector size, 720 rpm
Dec 02 19:33:44 lothar kernel: hdd: no media in the drive

all i did for the kernels i rolled myself was just turn on the ATAPI
floppy support.  didn't have to do anything fancier than that so i
don't know what the deal is in your case.
