Hi there,

Recently I compiled and installed kernel 2.6.0 with all the necessary adjustments to make it work under my particular flavour of linux and I still use devfs. Now down to the actual problem...
I cannot mount my floppy disk using the information in the fstab anymore, here's what the line looks like:

----
/dev/floppy/0 /floppy vfat rw,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
----

So if I type "mount /floppy" it displays the error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/floppy/0 or too many mounted file systems". Now for the interesting part... if I type it in manually, say "mount -t vfat /dev/floppy/0 /floppy" it will mount with no problems whatsoever. I can't figure it out, /etc/fstab worked fine before on kernel 2.4.23.

Anyone else got any idea?

I don't have a floppy on my pc,,,
But my guess is

/dev/floppy/0 /floppy AUTO rw,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

You also need to compile in support for msdps and vfat in the kernal, at least i think so.

try loading the vfat module on boot from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

I told you that when i mount it normall through command line... such as "mount -t vfat /dev/floppy/0 /floppy" it works perfectly. I already know about compiling vfat into the kernel and I really doubt this a kernel issue (except for the fact that a single line of my fstab no longer works). When i revert back to the old kernel (I setup another selection in lilo just for this), I can mount my floppy fine by using the information in the fstab (eg: "mount /floppy" works)
