Miro,
Sounds about right ...Hi Michael,

I had to pull: fat.ko, msdos.ko, nls_cp437.ko and nls_ascii.ko from the Debian 12 ISO's own linux-image-6.1.0-9-m68k.deb plus pata_falcon.ko and libata.ko from its cdrom initrd.gz
Yes, that's a limitation we can't bypass. Users need to be aware of that. I'm sure this had been discussed on the lists at that time.Try loading that module explicitly and see what log messages you get. I don't remember having to use any special module options.
Well, me neither, on 2.2.25. ;-)
However I have bumped into another issue: in 2.4.4.6 a breaking change was introduced for my 1GiB GEMDOS partition: bytes per logical sector can be at most 4096 bytes (memory page size) so my 16K logical sectors are rejected by the kernel. So currently, one can mount only a 256 MB GEMDOS partition at most.
Perhaps I'll try to mount an ext2 partition from FreeMiNT. :)
I'm sure that would be a lot easier (unless FreeMINT has introduced endianness issues).
Cheers,
Michael
