I update kernel to 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 but get same behaviour: # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/win -t vfat -o showexec=no mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1, or too many mounted file systems in /var/log/messages: Feb 16 12:45:27 warp kernel: FAT: Unrecognized mount option "showexec=no" or missing value

It seems that you need not specify an argument for the showexec mount option. So, you can get away with: mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/win -o showexec and that will do what you want (I believe). Please give it a try.
