I found the problem before your post came across, but thank you because this
would have led me to the right fix..

Oops, found it myself, apparently, and for what reason I don't know, the wrong
modules directory was being searched and of course it did not exist, so the
msdos file system module was not being used.  I re-compiled the kernel with the
msdos file sytem in the kernel rather than a module and I now have it back.

Now to find out why the correct module directory was not being used.  :-)

Well, I am assuming you have something other than linux native on
that partition or you would not be running the system to tell us
of this.

And the kernel recompile might not have included support for the
filesystem type there?  (just a guess)

How about posting output from

cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab
cat /proc/filesystems
dmesg

Then we can probably help much better.

Help!

Not sure when it happened but think it was after a kernel recompile.

Now when I try to mount /dev/hda1 I get the error:

   mount: /dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number

I have no clue as to what this means.  Sure would be nice if there was some
method of deciphoring different errors when you encounter them.

Can anyone shed some light on this errror?  Any help would be appreciated.
