Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-ID: b7plFTZeQegkQ6B8LXnU152CVg-Lh10ZV8XPnQLHHDG-4Rf16-WogU Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi folks, Is it possible that there is a problem with vfat on amd64? This is the effect I see: I want to flash the BIOS of my PC, so I have to write a bootable DOS image on an USB stick and add the flash program and the new BIOS file: cat DOS.img >/dev/sdd mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt cp AWDFLASH.EXE FN85S235.BIN /mnt umount /mnt The USB stick boots, but if I run AWDFLASH, then nothing happens. It justs sits there and doesn't do anything. But if I try this instead cp DOS.img FLASH.img mount -t vfat -o loop FLASH.img /mnt cp AWDFLASH.EXE FN85S235.BIN /mnt umount /mnt cat FLASH.img >/dev/sdd then AWDFLASH works as expected. Kernel is 2.6.8, but I had problems with 2.6.7, too. ??? Harri
