2.6.0-test9 VFAT problem

Hi,
First, I'm still very much a newbie to Linux - but I try my best.
I'm having trouble with my smartmedia. Whenever (occasionally it will
mount - but very rare) I try to mount it I get the following;
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
dmesg shows;
FAT: Bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda
These are Olympus sm cards, my camera is a Olympus 300-zoom. I use both the
camera (usb connection) and a belkin usb smartmedia reader.
These cards camera and reader all worked well using Kernel 2.4.18.
My distrib is Debian (testing) and the 2.6 source is the 'Debianized' source
within testing. I noticed that Andries Brouwer has created a patch to relax
the FAT checking within /fs/fat/inode.c. I have applied that diff and
recompiled but if anything it now appears worse. That is to say I still get
the original error when trying to mount the camera, but this time the belkin
reader returns 'no media found'. I will try to confirm this by recompiling
with the original inode.c.
My fstab entry is;
/dev/sda /mnt/smedia vfat rw,user,noauto 0,0
As I said at the start the media does mount occasionally so I would presume
I haven't missed something.
Can anyone help?
