VFAT32 filesystem and Linux

Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all
Kernel version: all

Symptom:

If Linux is installed onto a hard disk with the new VFAT32 filesystem, booting via Loadlin certainly still works, but not any more via LILO. (With it, the hard disk gets generally on. The MBR must be removed via fdisk /MBR).

Cause:

We suppose to be responsible for this problem an undocumented VFAT32 feature.

Solution:

No solution is known up to now. We are very interested in feedback about this problem.
