Hi Alan, I got the error "FAT: codepage cp437 not found" in the dmesg log when I tried to mount the USB pen drive.
I have been able to resolve this error by enabling the kernel option for cp437 in Native Language support for the File system. After this the mount command is working fine and I am able to use the device perfectly by creating files. Thanks for your help on the issue.

Turn on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG, and rebuild the USB drivers. Then what shows up in the dmesg log when you run "mount"?
