Help (again~!!) and then some...
Howdy y'all :) Sorry I've been off the air for so long (I've been waiting for my debian Cd's to get here).. I finally got them :) Okay here's the scoop... I was running kernel 2.0.32, and I custom compiled 2.0.34 for sound using make menuconfig...Here's the problem... Under kernel 2.0.32, I could issue a mount command, such as mount /dev/hda1 /ntpart and it would mount the the Fat16 partition just fine, or the CDROM... Now, under 2.0.34, I have good sound... but I can't mount my fat16 partition or my cdrom... I get the 'you must specify partition type'... I try vfat for the /dev/hda1 , and it tells me it is not supported... Help Thanks, Brant __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Just run configuration again and see if vfat support is included in the kernel. If it's not, include it and compile again.

If you're running the stock install kernel I'm 99.9 percent sure vfat is a module. If that DOES solve the problem, you should look into kerneld, which automagically loads (and unloads) modules for you when needed. To enable it, uncomment the auto line in /etc/modules . -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)

To enable it, uncomment the auto line in /etc/modules . You don't have to enable auto to get kerneld to work. Only if you want it to start earlier in the boot process. I prefer to list the modules I want loaded at boot time and let kerneld handle it from there.
