What partition are you using? vfat? Was the partition created/formatted correctly? Did you include vfat support in the kernel? Did you build support as a module? Drop me an email if you don't know how to check for the option in the kernel .config (CONFIG_VFAT_FS in the case of vfat) or when you 'make menuconfig'.
