USB stick mount error

I have a strange error trying to use my usb sticks or the USB disk.
Inserting the disk or the sticks I see got the automount icons, but it works only if the filesystem isn't VFAT. I have 3 sticks and 1 disk with VFAT and no one it's working.
If I mount it by hand with user root :

I had a very weird problem the order that and the problem was my kernel.

In fact, to be able to use a USB stick,you need to have this in your kernel :

Better info will be from dmesg, and i think that you don't have compile in (or as module) vfat and wrong codepage.

Judging by the error message I would suggest looking at /etc/fstab - there might be a line with the removable device(s) with mount options / FS type different from vfat.

Yeah, can you post your /etc/fstab plz.

you need too add your stick to fstab with user option to enable users mount and umount it, and try with fs type auto
for example

If you are using device mounting with HAL, it should not be needed to create fstab entries. Well "should not" - but in reality it sometimes does not work and then it is really difficult to find what is going on with HAL. For that reason I prefer manual mounting.

I tryed to check the options doing right click in the icon that automatically compare in the toolbar. I disable IO syncronous and now the mount it's done correctly and automatically.
Thanks to everybody.
