Hi Doug, Here are some remedial suggestions from a novice user who recently went through the process of getting everything to work. My fstab for the fat32 partitions looks like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc vfat rw 0 2 /dev/hda6 /mnt/dosd vfat rw 0 2 /dev/hda7 /mnt/dose vfat rw 0 2 My 2.0.34 kernel mounts auto at boot. The 2 in the last column merely indicates the process should fork and mount these guys after the '/' partition (which is of course "1" ) if I understand it correctly. Anyway, I'm not sure you're using the mount command correctly either. Try something like this if you want to do it manually: mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /D Try it. I think that should get ya goin. I know 2.0.34 supports the fat32 partition.

I'm still trying to mount FAT32 partitions under RH5.0 w/2.0.34 kernel. Here's a session "transcript". First the kernel version: [root@localhost /root]# uname -r 2.0.34 Then fdisk output: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 638 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1 121 971901 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda2 122 122 637 4144770 5 Extended /dev/hda5 122 122 379 2072353+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 380 380 570 1534176 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda7 571 571 629 473886 83 Linux native /dev/hda8 630 630 637 64228+ 82 Linux swap Here's /etc/fstab: [root@localhost /root]# cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # # You should be using fstool (control-panel) to edit this!

Anyone have FAT32 working?
