I had similar problems and (humor me here) try

Code:

touch /dev/sda
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mountpoint



Something to do with usb timeouts. this may not help you at all.

Code:
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-2"
....
....
CONFIG_NLS=y
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="iso8859-2"
CONFIG_NLS_UTF8=y


Will try that out...

I'll also try your suggestion mcspiff (yes, I'm desperate :P ).

First off: this is one of the funniest threads I've ever read on these forums! Secondly, check out "File Systems > DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems" and "File Systems > Native Language Support". I used to have problems mounting fat32 until I changed the default codepage from 437 (USA) to 850 (Europe), and iso8859-1 to iso8859-15. You might also want to enable utf-8 if that's not enabled. However, I never quite understood exactly why that helped. Anyway, good luck on ya...


Finally got around to recompile the kernel and funny enough... IT WORKED! I love you right now :P I guess USB/VFAT doesn't like USA :lol: Thanks again.

Yeah - we have all been there, or nearly there. Maybe its only the way keyboards get after some determined Gentoo config/compiling that stops us going the whole way.
