My hard disk comprises four primary partitions. Two for Windows( hda1, hda2 ) is in FAT32 format. The other two for linux are respectively ext2 and swap. And hda2 is partitioned into 4 extended partitions.

I can mount hda1 by "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c". But when i try to list under /mnt/win_c, the problem occurs,it just says "Segmentation Fault" or sometimes has no response. The 4 extended partitions are all the same, and some of them can't be even mounted.

Can anyone figure out where the problem is ??

Thanks a lot in advance.

p.s. my linux distribution is Fedora core3

Is this a custom kernel?

If so, your module options for DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems should read like this:

(437) Default code page for vfat
(ascii) default iocharset for fat

and under native language support
you want code page 437 selected

make sure you are copying your system.map file and such to the /boot directory.

if it still fails, make sure you 'strace ls' and paste the output here.
