Hi,

I m having a problem of mounting my floppy drive, which is formated under Windows OS. Whenever I mount it, a message popup saying that 'Please specify a file system'. I mount the floppy disk by typing in 'mount /mnt/floppy' all the time but after recompiling my kernel, this problem popup. Please help, Thank you !

regards,
Larva
 
You probably did not re-compile your kernel with msdos filesystem support. Check the Filesystems section of you kernel main menu, and make sure you add msdos filesystem support.

If msdos filesystem support was compiled as a module, you will have to load the module during boot, by editing one of you bootup scripts, or your /etc/modules.conf file.

You may want to check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems for more info, or use Google.
