KP & All,

>>Did you format from  Windows?
Nop - Debian Sarge 2.6 kernel with msdos,fat & vfat modules loaded

I guess it got to late yesterday.  Looking trough my notes I saw that I
forgott to format it with mkfs.vfat

mkdir /hd
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /hd
touch thisisatestwithreallylongfilenames.txt
works fine with my image now.
I have also changed the syslinux.cfg entries to /dev/sda1:vfat

But, I can not get long file names with lrcfg :-(

Maybe I just do this to late in the evening.  I'll roll another image
tomorrow morning  - hopefully I get all stuff ironed out then.  I guess the
reformat will take care of the umbunto issue as well.

Best regards
Jørn

I've tested your image and it boots fine - as you siad it has no long names.

I think you have to replace "msdos" with  "vfat"  in syslinux.cfg and
leaf.cfg.
You also have to mount /dev/sda1 with -t vfat, once it is booted.

If I'm doing this with my image it does have long filenames

But I had some issues with your image on my WS (ubuntu 5.11):

I can't mount your image  - wrong fstype and syslinux tells me

./syslinux /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem

I have to reformat with mkfs.vfat to make it accessible again to my test
runs.

So I suspect there is a pb with vfat in your image...? Did you format from
Windows?

The files on your image don't have long names; but with the changes above, I
can create long names on your device. So your half way done :)
