    Go to linux/fs/fat, edit inode.c, comment the bit

    if (FAT_FIRST_ENT(sb, media) != first
    && (media != 0xf8 || FAT_FIRST_ENT(sb, 0xfe) != first)) {
    if (!silent) {
    printk(KERN_ERR "FAT: invalid first entry of FAT "
    "(0x%x != 0x%x)\n",
    FAT_FIRST_ENT(sb, media), first);
    }
    goto out_invalid;
    }

    out by putting #if 0 ... #endif around it.

    How was this card formatted?
