[Peeweelinux] [peewee and cramfs] mounting a cramfs partition in linux

[Charles T. Houghtby IV]

Hi all!

To use the cliche, "I'm A Newbie" to this ML, and I hope I formulated the subject correctly...
My question is, How do I mount a cramfs volume (in this case /dev/sda2) in linux? 
I have compiled support for Compressed ROM FS as part of kernel 2.4.17 <*>. However, when i type
# mount -t cramfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/flash_p1
I continue to get the message 
mount: fs type cramfs not supported by the kernel
even though I compiled it in.

my version of mount is 
mount: mount 2.11n
(from util-linux 2.11n)

my kernel version is 2.4.17 with both romfs and cramfs support <*> compiled in.
