Hello,
the problem appeared on the first partition of an ide
IBM-DHEA-36481 with one fat partition on it. I repartioned
the device (4 primaries) and "mke2fs -j" three of them.
Than i tried to mount the newly created filesystems and got
this in syslog:
Sep 1 08:47:32 steel kernel: FAT: Did not find valid FSINFO signature.
Sep 1 08:47:32 steel kernel: Found signature1 0x0 signature2 0x0 sector=1.

Sep 1 08:47:32 steel kernel: FAT error
Sep 1 08:47:32 steel kernel: File system has been set read-only
Umount produced something as well:
Sep 1 08:47:54 steel kernel: FAT: Did not find valid FSINFO signature.
Sep 1 08:47:54 steel kernel: Found signature1 0x0 signature2 0x0 sector=1.
Assuming that some garbage was left on the disk event after mke2fs,
i did "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd1 bs=512", which cured the problem,
after being followed by mke2fs.
# fdisk -l /dev/hdd
Disk /dev/hdd: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 790 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
