Hello,
i=B4ve 3 windows partitions on my Linux box (/dev/hda1,2,3 with sizes of
700MB, 2GB and 1.3GB). The partition type of all partitions is c
(Windows 95 FAT32(LBA)). Support for vfat is enabled according to
/proc/filesystems.
=
ext2
minix
reiserfs
umsdos
msdos
vfat
nodev proc
nodev nfs
iso9660
nodev devpts
nodev autofs
I can mount the partitions < 2GB. When i try to mount the 2GB
partition the following error appeared:
Jun 29 19:15:18 tekener kernel: [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT

All hda1-3 are primary partitions on a 20 GB disk and hda4 is an
extented partition which contains some more logical partitions for
linux.
I think the main problem is that the kernel tries to load the FAT16
module (which is MSDOS type and not VFAT). But why? This happens even
with -vfat as mount options.
Greetings, Joerg
