21 As I can see the VFAT is compiled in the kernel, not as a module.
22 Compare:
23 case@cthulhu ~ $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i fat
24 CONFIG_X86_MCE_NONFATAL=y
25 # DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
26 CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
27 CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
28 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=852
29 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-2"

31 I wonder what is in your /proc/filesystems and /etc/filesystems ? Could
32 you post their contents here?
33
34 And are you sure that /usr/src/linux/.config belongs to the kernel you
35 actualy run?
36 It would not hurt to modprobe, anyway. ;-)
