fat32 share not mountable after new kernel

Birnenpfluecker

Installed a new kernel last night (2.6.9), and after rebooting, my share partition doesn mount anymore. Did a make oldconfig, so the kernel options should be allright. (vfat support is on). Didn't change my fstab. Before the kernel all worked perfectly. I cannot even mount it manually, but not sure how to mount it per hand (I tried a simple mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/share)

File Systems > Native language Support

--- Base native language support

<*> Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)
<*> NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)

I had simmilar problem once. I discovered I had "vFat" instead of "vfat" in my /etc/fstab.

Had the same problem after I upgraded, stinkin monkey's right, you do need to compile these in (and not as modules either!)

Also you need to modify fstab to something like this:
/dev/hda5 /data auto noatime,user,exec,gid=users,umask=0000,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,rw 0 0
