I get one of these:
root@bart nroberts # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
Same if I say -t vfat or -t fat. This happens even if I format from
linux with mkfs.msdos. I only get it with fat systems so far. Like
if I format with mke2fs I can mount just fine.
Jack has become pretty unusable also. Just playing an mp3 from xmms
cuts out 2-3 times a second. I am going to try loosing the kernel
preemption and see if that helps.
On a better note though, my DVD burner works now...woohoo. It didn't before.
This is an AMD64 BTW.
