This is only needed for auto mounting if the kernel needs to load a module. If the module is compiled in, or *already* loaded, the kernel should try that fs type. You say you have loaded vfat and *still* the kernel doesn't recognize the fat32 partition? So "$/sbin/lsmod" shows vfat support? What about fat support (it should be auto loaded when vfat is loaded)? If these two are loaded your kernel should mount the partition. -- Chris Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux --- The best things in life are free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
