Description Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-12-27 15:41:30 UTC 
Greetings!

I found that I'm unable to mount any USB mass storage device because kernel 2.6.15_rc6-default is missing nls/*.ko modules. Mount attempt says "unable to load cp437 module"
Comment 1 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-12-29 21:41:48 UTC 
Well, seems that kernel 2.6.15-rc6-2-default does not have many things compiled:
1. PPP support
2. NLS support for fs drivers
3. AGP support (agpgart.ko)
I tried to compile one from sources by myself but did not find above mentioned settings in `make menuconfig`...

Alex, just to make sure we're on the same page - we're talking about
kernel-default-2.6.15_rc6_git2-2.i586.rpm, right?

I did a quick rpm -qlp and all nls (and ppp and agp) modules seem to
be there. The CONFIG_NLS* option are all defined in our tree, and have
been so for quite a while. It seems something has been eating your kernel
modules...

Please run rpm --verify kernel-default

Olaf,

this was with 2.6.15_rc6-default, not -git. After upgrade to -git this problem was solved. Closing this bug.
