Re: udev + kernel 2.6.8 + usb mass storage

Solved !

Thanks to Ron Johnson who help me to identify the problem:

It seems that in kernel 2.6.8 and later, I need the codepage 437 to
mount vfat partitions. I chekcked my configuration in 2.6.6 and it was
not needed.

/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6> cat .config | grep -i "437"
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 is not set

and now:

/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9> cat .config | grep -i "437"
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=y

and I can mount vfat.

Thanks a lot for help !
