Hi guys,
I changed the /etc/fstab to mount a windows partition auto on boot:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat auto,user,ro 0 0

Then after a reboot i got a kernel message:
...can't locate mod nls ( 3 lines like this )

Anyone can explaind?

This is all you need for Western European language support. Interestingly, you can force the codepage for the FAT driver e.g:

Are you only having the problem auto-mounting at boot? Can you mount the drive with mount after start-up?

(Just checking... did you compile ntfs and/or fat support?)
