Hi, everyone, I am a new debian and unix user. I had debian 1.3.1 installed on my PC with linux partition along the Win95 Fat32 partition, everything seems worked fine. It'll be nice to be able to mount the win95. But the debian installation didn't give me the choice to config the kernal to recognize the Fat32. So, I repartitioned win95 into Fat16. But it did not give me enough space to hold the win95 stuff which I don't want to throw away yet. I was impressed by the space saving of Fat32.
In a short, I had to stick to Fat32. Since I am a new unixer, I read those kernel howto to see whether I can recompile the kernel to recognize Fat32, but could not get any clue. Then I found this slackware kernel which recognize the Fat32. I boot from it and it worked fine. I am able to mount the win95 with vfat. But my mouse is not working anymore. gpm and xserver complained no such device. This kernel at it claimed is able to load modules dynamiclly. So, I tried kerneld to load mouse according to the kerneld mini howto. The depmode gave lot of error of unresolved symbol, blah. then I tried modprobe and insmod manully, they all give same error message of: unresolved symbol misc_deregister ..... unresolved symbol misc_register ..... Could anybody give me some help how to load mouse to this kernel? or help me to find out how to build a kernel to recognize the Fat32? I think this option should be include in the future debian distribution. Sorry for the long message, I hope to give you a clearer idea where the problem came from. Thanks a million!
