Did you also try an explicit mount call like "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1
/mnt/somewhere"? Is MSDOS partition tables support configured in the
kernel? (I guess the answer to both is yes.)

There is "excessive debugging output" enabled in the IEEE 1394 section
of the kernel configuration, which is just unnecessary.

Otherwise, it looks like for example the posting "Getting portable hard
disk drive to work" on March 24, which is unresolved so far, either.
