I would like to file a bug report for the error message: kernel: floppy0: data CRC error: track 77, head 1, sector 3, size 2
The error is real, it is the message that is in error. Where do I file this?

looks like a read error, handling a floppy at an edge track, which will not read cleanly -- Can you reproduce it with fresh media?

It is a real error, which I will track down the source of. Meanwhile it is the 4th character from the end of the message that bugs me.

The 'z'? I don't see an error in that message.

I was thinking it should be "side", but I guess the "side" information is in the "head" parameter. So does the "size" indicate whether it is 720K or 1.4M? If so, what do the numbers mean, as I have had errors where I thought the kernel was confused as to what it thought was in the drive after a disk swap.

No. It indicates the sector size (0 = 128, 1 = 256, 2 = 512, 3 = 1024).

"head" is correct, a floppy is a one-platter disk; to the software it's like every other disk except in number of platters and usable size (in some disks, maybe only older ones, the top and/or bottom sides are not used for data)
720K or 1.4M? If so, what do the numbers mean, as I have had errors where I thought the kernel was confused as to what it thought was in the drive after a disk swap.
There are other possible sizes; I think the original PC had 90k floppies. Let me see 8 sectors (IBM didn't realise the drives and media could do nine), 256b sectors (I think) 40 tracks.
Oh, there were also single-density 8" floppies, but not on peecees, at least as standard equipment.

A bug report for a bad floppy? I'd put that in the circular file..
