modprobe fuse never gives output, but check in dmesg if you see anything fuse related after that. or check with lsmod | grep fuse if it's loaded. as a quick fix, you can comment /media/windows in /etc/fstab (perhaps adding noauto as parameter) or find a way to load fuse at startup, but i heard that /etc/modprobe.preload isn't used for that anymore with the new modprobe tools. > Ideas would be more than appreciated! > > Tonyb >
