I got more hints when I actually tried to write to the disk.

A file name cannot exceed 8 characters.

Sounds like that's the old msdos FAT driver, not the vfat one.

Hi, can you try that :

Code:

# mkdir /mnt/test
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test


Yes, it does get mounted but I can't do it from xfce.



if you can mount it at all, outside of XFCE, it has nothing to do with your kernel, and is a problem specific to XFCE

Actually I cant effectively do any operation on the mounted disk, as said -

I can mount as user using the old kernel.

The problem was with the file system subsection itself.

I did not check
Code:
NLS ISO 8859-1  (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
in the Native language support section.
