12 Then you're still missing something in the kernel. Turn on anything
13 vaguely fattish and dossish in the kernel config. Also maybe try
14 to mount it with -t fat32. And please paste the exact command and
15 output given.

17 Also try creating a dos file system on a dummy file and mounting it
18 on a loop device and see if that works. And try creating and using
19 a fat16 file system instead.
