# mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel
The above mount command had been working on SuSE 8.2 but now that I have SuSE 9 installed I am getting that, "mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel" error in SuSE 9.
As root, try lsmod to see if the vfat module is loaded. If not, modprobe vfat. To see if usb-storage is picking up the card, do hwinfo --usb. If it is in the list, it should say Device File: /dev/sda or something. It may not be /dev/sda, but /dev/sd(something else). Ed Harrison
