vfat filesystems problems after kernel upgrade

Well I recently upgraded from kernel 2.6.3 to kernel 2.6.4. Then now I'm not able to mount vfat filesystems like floppy or windows partition.
When I try to mount them it says the following:

 
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: /dev/floppy/0 is not a valid block device

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/discs/disc0/part1,
or too many mounted file systems

These are my corresponding fstab entry for both:

<file system>        <dir>     <type>    <options>              <dump> <pass>
/dev/floppy/0          /mnt/fl   vfat      user,noauto,unhide     0      0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /mnt/win vfat rw,user,noauto,unhide,umask=022 0 0

Thanks in advance for all those whom read this and those that could brring some light in fixing this problem.

Re: vfat filesystems problems after kernel upgrade

vfat doesn't work with the unhide option.  Get rid of it.

Re: vfat filesystems problems after kernel upgrade

It seems that I didn't knew that for the new kernel version "unhide" wasn't supported for vfat filesystems. So, that fixed my little problem.
