This message appears when you don’t have a floppy drive attached to Linux server. Solution is quite simple just disable driver for floppy and reboot the system. You can verify this with the following command (this solution works with RHEL, CentOS, Redhat, Ubuntu/Debian and other Linux distros) :
# lsmod | grep -i floppy
Output:
floppy 95465 0
Open file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Listing a module (driver name) in this file prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it. Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user mode tools can also control driver binding. Append following line:
blacklist floppy
Save and close the file. Now reboot the Linux server:
# reboot
