| |
since i missed several weeks of the kernel list, i'm not sure if this has been covered, but the vfat module is not autoloaded during boot time to allow the mounting of my vfat-formatted windows partition, as it has been in previous versions of the kernel.
i have all of the module options selected for this kernel, and the dos/vfat options have been selected as modules for this build.
during boot time, i get error messages that that partition could not be mounted. after boot, i still can't mount it manually until i explicitly "modprobe vfat", something i've never had to do before.
thoughts?

p.s. now that i think about it, there might have been other instances of failure to autoload modules that i just shrugged off at the time, but this is the one example that i took the time to really verify, since it came as such a surprise.
