<div><div>Hi Joe,</div><div><br>
to get vfat working you will need to recompile the kernel. I have a USB
hard disk working in a Wrap with the following modules (from the last
voyage kernel (0.2pre2)):<br>
<br>
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y<br>
<br>
#<br>
# DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems<br>
#<br>
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m<br>
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m<br>
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m<br>
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437<br>
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"<br>
<br>
#<br>
# Native Language Support<br>
#<br>
CONFIG_NLS=m<br>
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="iso8859-1"<br>
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=m<br>
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=m<br>
<br>
regards<br>

<br><br>Hi,<br><br>Okay, some newbie questions here -- sorry in advance. I just got my first<br>Soekris net4801 and I successfully installed Voyage Linux on it. When I<br>plugged in a USB flash drive into the net4801's USB port, I was pleased to
<br>see that Voyage detected it. However, when I tried to mount it with fs type<br>"vfat", I got the following error message: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'.<br><br>I suspect this has something to do with voyage's kernel? Anyway, how can I
<br>get vfat to work? Do I have to recompile the voyage kernel with a modified<br>kernel configuration?<br><br><br><br>------</blockquote></div><br>
