FAT32 Support

Help!

I recently upgrade to Mandriva 2005LE (from 10.1). I cannot seem to mount FAT or FAT32 partitions (for my USB Pen Drive and iPod). Before it would usually autoload. What should I do?

**Edit: Now it works. I had a minor typo (I was typing sda instead of sda1). How can I get these devices to mount automatically like they used to? They won't be plugged in all the time so I don't think I can add them to the /etc/fstab, can I?

I don't wee why you can not add them to fstab. I did with my cards for my camera. They go in a usb card reader. I made entries in fstab. All I do is plug the card it after booting, and use KDiskFree. It shows the fstab entries, right click on the card, and mount. Presto, it's mounted. I don't know the differences in a pen drive to a camera card. Here is my fstab entries, if it helps.

/dev/sda1 /mnt/memory_card auto codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,nosuid,noauto,nodev,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/memory_card2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec,kudzu,umask=0,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
