Question : mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

Hi.

OpenSUSE won't mount my USB memory device. It comes up with a message box giving the correct name of the device, but gives also the error:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

I've searched the internet that led me to look at the two files:
proc/partitions:
major minor  #blocks  name

   8        0  732574584 sda
   8        1     102400 sda1
   8        2  425269248 sda2
   8        3          1 sda3
   8        5    2104483 sda5
   8        6   20972826 sda6
   8        7  284117526 sda7
   8       96    8059904 sdg
   8       97    8059888 sdg1

the last one is the USB device. So it did detect it. Here's the fstab file from /etc:

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_5VP2H0PP-part5 swap                 swap       defaults              0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_5VP2H0PP-part6 /                    ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_5VP2H0PP-part7 /home                ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_5VP2H0PP-part1 /windows/C           ntfs-3g    users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750528AS_5VP2H0PP-part2 /windows/D           ntfs-3g    users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 0 0
/dev/sdg1                                      /media/usbdisk       vfat       users,umask=000 00
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
sysfs                /sys                 sysfs      noauto                0 0
debugfs              /sys/kernel/debug    debugfs    noauto                0 0
usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      auto                  0 0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0

In bold are my changes/additions.

I then created the folder /media/usbdisk.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer : mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

Just do /sbin/depmod -a

That will be enough.
