 |
|
hi!
I'm new to Gentoo, and sofar am enjoying myself.
I did a fresh install, during which I compiled a custom kernel.
Now my problem is, that I cannot mount any disks or floppys.
When I try mounting them I get (example for /dev/hdb1):
| Code: |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
or too many mounted file systems
|
I did include vfat filesystem support in the kernel (the disks are all fat32)
but as I cannot mount a floppy disk formated with ext3 I guess thats not my problem.
Now the disks work (under windows) and always worked with ububntu (from my pre gentoo times).
Help!?

to get my vfat usbstick to work I had to enable 2 options in the kernel
in the kernel-setup:
file systems --->
Native language support --->
<*>codepage 437 (united states, canada)
<*> NLS ISO 8859-1 (latin1: Western European Languages)
and save the config and recompile the kernel and install it |

I think you pushed me in the rigth direction!
I''l recompile my kernel and let you know.
If I'm not very much mistaken, I fiddled with the default codepage setting...  |

I finally got round to recompiling, and it of course works now!
Consider this one solved!  |
