The type for fat16 is "msdos", and "vfat" for fat32.


Are you sure its hda5? It could be the extended partition.  You could paste your output of
Code Sample
# fdisk -l
My guess, though, is that it's a 'bad' partition...
Hello to all: :)

the extended partition is hda2 and the logical one is hda5
the output of #fdisk -l  is:

Device          Boot            Start           End                 Blocks            Id           System
/dev/hda1       *                 1              617                2487712+         b           win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2                        618             785                677376            5           Extended
/dev/hda5                        618             785                677344+          6            FAT16

i think that the partition is not bad because it is correctly mounted if i tape at the boot:
dsl pci=off
