Hey it seems you might be running into an error from a missing floppy disk drive. Even if there is no floppy disk drive, your Linode must have detected some device as floppy or created a reference to a non existent drive. There’s a couple posts I found online that goes over this and more that I’ll provide but the following commands should work to remove the drive and fix your error:
You’ll want to run these two commands to remove the floppy disk module.
sudo rmmod floppy
echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf
After running these it should remove the drive and fix the error upon booting up. For more references, here are the forum links I found that gave these solutions
Hope this helps.
