Re: how to load a module for vfat fs support?

[Mike Alborn <malborn@deandra.homeip.net>]

I would check out the /lib/modules/2.4.10/ directories on your machine 
to make sure the correct modules are there. Try the following

$ find /lib/modules/2.4.10 -name 'vfat.o'

to see if the file 'vfat.o' exists. It should be in 
/lib/modules/2.4.10/kernel/fs/vfat/

if not, then something happened during the kernel compile process, and 
the module wasn't compiled, or wasn't placed where it should be. If it 
is there, 'insmod vfat' or 'modprobe vfat' should do the trick.

HTH,
