Hi,

I have noticed that several has the same problem as I have, but none of the solutions that I have found on the web seems to work for me.

I have a Sandisk 256Mb formatted with FAT
Redhat 9, kernel 2.6.9
I have recompiled my kernel to support vfat and usb

If i check in /proc/bus/usb/(devices?) I can see that my usb stick has been detected

dmesg tells me that sda1 has been assigned for the stick

so everything fine so far

But when I try to mount it with

mount /dev/sda1

I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems

fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey vfat umask=0000,user,noauto 0 0

Anyone?

I think the command is If that won't work, make sure you have the correct USB host controller (usb-uhci or usb-ohci) and usb-storage module either compiled or loaded as modules. Then it should work.

I think you must create a directory first, where to mount the device, then run the mount /mnt/sda1 command. I think your fstab file is correct. Let me see if i can find a site where it explains it better.

ive solved it I discovered that I had a error in messages saying that I lacked support for cp437. I checked my .config checked it, recompiled and it worked fine

Thansk for all your help!
