On my CentOS7 system, I'm getting message sequences in /var/log/message and in the journal that are nearly identical to the sequence below. They come in multiple times per second.
I've deleted the timestamps and system name from the messages.

I persume something is trying to access the system's floppy disk drive that does not exist. But I have been unable to identify what's triggering all this activity.
Any suggestions?
