Hi! Thanks for understanding my prob...

My mistake I should have mentioned, thats my vfat windows partition.. earlier on I had upgradede my kernel to 2.4.13 and the /deb/hda5 ( vfat ) was getting mounted cleanly... But some how after upgrading util and ext3 the /win/program direc where i am mounting it is being shown as a 8k size direc and cd gives an error... mounting from a diff kernel gives no such error and other partiontions are getting mounted properly
have you compiled msdos & vfat fs as modules ? I couldn't get it to work with 2.4.12 with vfat & msdos as modules. Try compiling vfat & msdos into the kernel itself. It *may* work, I only get time on sundays to do all this r&d so I can't help you today but I noticed that the combo of rh 7.1 (pcq) w/ 2.4.12 (w/ upgraded util-linux & e2fsprogs) w/ ext3 keeps giving me errors of *unresolved symbols* in _all_ the options that I have built as modules when I run depmod -ae 2.4.12 after make modules_install. Go figure that :-). Last sunday I finally had to give up after recompiling the kernel for the third time (& besides my wife was giving me threatening stares :-).
also during bootup I get a swapon error saying
that
invalid -e option.
I guess that problem is solved now...
Thanks a lot for this one :-)
