cannot mount vfat fs using 2.6.3-7mdk

[linuts]

Hi i am having trouble with getting kernel-2.6.3-7mdk to mount the vfat fs:

when i boot the above kernel i see this during boot-up:

mount: wrong fs type or bad option, bad superblock, or too many mounted filesystems /dev/hdc1

and the same for /dev/hda

hdc1 is my winXP pro usinf fat32 - hda is my dload dir using fat32.

I have xp on my main hdd, and mandrake 9.1 on my second hdd.

using mandrake 9.1 with kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk: the reason i want the latter kernel is for the ATAPI-IDE cd-rw option instead of using scsi-emulation.

Cheers

1 ) Make sure you have built the kernel with vfat support
2 ) Make sure you have a line similar to

"/dev/hdc1 /mnt/winxp vfat defaults 0 0"

in your fstab (you have to manually create /mnt/winxp or whatever mountpoint you would like)

3 ) Post your fstab next time you ask the question

In my experience though, when it says :
"wrong fs type or bad option, bad superblock, or too many mounted filesystems" its probably because you tried to mount the wrong filesystem or as the wrong type. I have actaully NEVER mounted to many file systems (don't know the upper limit, but I think it is pretty high)
