The problems aren't new - there is just some added debugging code in the
floppy driver (and in the harddisk driver as well - if it gets errors,
you are likely to see some debug-info printed out). The simple fix is
just to comment out all the printk's in the drivers - they aren't
needed, although they can be practical at times.
