I am getting an error message while gentoo is loading stating | Quote: | | bab format on line 23 /etc/fstab |

Strangly enuf my printer is also connected to another usb port but that works fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the usb mount??

| Why do you think it's USB related? Line 23 seems the line after the last you posted. Sure that there's nothing else in /etc/fstab? |

Sorry I left out a few lines in fstab because they are # commented out. Here is fstab complete. The reason I feel it's USB related is because thats the only mount that doesnt work. It is for a card reader. And seeing that I have 3 other usb ports (besides the printer) would I have to make a mount point for each???

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean exactly with "card reader"? |

I have a scan disk 5 in one card reader for my digital camera connected to a usb port.

| Anyway line 23 seems to be the blank one after the usb one. Just guessing, have you built vfat support in kernel or as a module? |

Nope did not do that. Will go to the kernel and check on that. I had to set up usb printer support in kernel before printer would work.

For this just do
| Code: | | mkdir /mnt/usb/drive |
For vfat you've to check VFAT (Windows-95) fs support under
| Code: | -> File systems
-> DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems |
in kernel menuconfig |

Thanks for the help dgaffuri all is working now. VFAT (Windows-95) fs support in genkernel menuconfig was already set. What worked for me is | Code: | | mkdir /mnt/usb/drive |
