Is that 2.2.12-20 the distribution kernel,?? or one you have compiles yourself.?
Providing that /mnt/vfat exsists, then there is no reason why this should not work with the distribution kernel 2.2.12-20 from Redhat. Obviously something was not installed properly, make sure /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/fs has; nls_iso8859-1.o nls_cp437.o vfat.o fat.o
If there not there then you did not include the modules, but having said that they should be instaled automaticly. On full install it all works i can speak from experiance, i cant speak about a work station, however i see no reason for it not to work.
Try the follwoing.
modprobe nls_iso8859-1 modprobe nls_cp437 modprobe vfat modprobe fat Then; mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat
If that works then /sbin/kerneld is not running. Possably an entry in /etc/fstab as
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat noauto 1 0
Will help you, then all you need to do is;
mount /windows
Of course the directory windows must exsist.
On a side note, all the mentioned modules are there on a standard Redhat-6.1 distribution.
