/proc/filesystems shows that msdos, vfat are present. I definitely compiled them into the kernel sometime back.
The error msg is: # mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 16, check=n,conv=b,uid=0, ...] [me=0xf8,cs=8,#f=2, ...] Translation block size = 512 VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1 or too many mounted filesystems ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 16:30:29 +1100 From: Hamish Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Charles Read <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: mount trouble with MSDOS fs On Thu, Dec 04, 1997 at 09:00:21PM -0600, Charles Read wrote: > A while back, I reported that > # mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt > > was not working.

No kernel support? You need to have the fat and msdos modules installed, or compiled in. (fat is a base for both msdos and vfat). What's the error message you're getting?
