PROBLEM: VFAT/MSDOS
VER: 2.6.8-rc3
Using a FAT16 file system mounted via /dev/sda1
it cannot be written to. When attempt is made it gives the error of being a read-only file system. This problem does not exist with 2.6.7 (confirmed)

It's known. It appears that you have to mount the fs with _both_ the "iocharset" _and_ "codepage" options explicitly specified to be able to write to it. Alternatively, you can remount it with "rw" explicitly specified (as root).
I hope that someone's working on a fix. ;-)

That change was reversed in 2.6.8-rc4:

Revert FAT NLS changes.It's causing massive user confusion, and breaks installers by mounting the filesystem read-only.
Hooray for Linus!
