Hello,
I have included the following error messages in last stage of
compilation. There seems to be a problem with vfat. This was when I
included the vfat support in kernel itself.

I also compiled vfat support as modules, then it would give
message "Unresolved symbols, vfat not supported by kernel", even though I
compiled it with vfat support.

According to me there was not error in compilation procedures from my
side.
