I have tried it. It fails even then. I have even tired earlier #mount -t vfat /dev/xxx /mnt/xxx FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors mount: you must specify the filesystem Please try to see on the FAT sub-system message. It is here where the problem is really starting. >> I have tried their suggestion like making EXT, IDE and FAT support >> inbuilt to the kernel rather than modules. >> Even then the problem persists. > >Modules are fine, most all distribution installed kernels have fat support. However, I figured out a rough shout route. When I made some modifications to the inode.c file in fat sub-system I found that the .config file generated after make menuconfig has changed. So, I simply replaced the Original .config file & tried to build. it worked. I did NOT understand how it is related? Can you comment on this please? However, the fat is a module rather than inbuilt & gets loaded dynamically by registering to the fs layer when such a filesystem is tired to mount. >> Did you find any one mentioning the solution for this issue? > >Well yes there are plenty of mails explaining the problem and mentioning >different ways of solving it.

OK, let me recheck it today.
