I've got kernel-source 2.0.30-7 installed.
I don't get any questions related to this when I go 'make menuconfig'.
What options should be selected?

What is the mount package you are using?

I've got mount 2.6d-1 installed:
	# mount -o noatime /dev/sdc1 /mnt
	mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
	       or too many mounted file systems

	(mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt is ok.)
Neither does the man page of mount know of option noatime.
And the binary doesn't seem to contain the word:
	# strings /bin/mount | grep -i time 
	timed out
	timeo
	actimeo

Thanks,
