I'm sorry, what is fatx? Have you tried vfat?

edit: looked it up. Looks like the xbox-linux project has a driver for it
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xbox-linux/kernel/fs/fatx/

Have you tried the README? It looks like maybe:
make dep
make

would do the trick?

Makefile:17: /Rules.make: No such files or directory
make: *** No rules to make target '/Rules.make'. Stop

Looking at the makefile, you need to either set the $(TOPDIR) variable to point to whatever it is supposed to (probably /usr/src/linux). It looks like it's blank, and it ends up looking in / for Rules.make instead of /usr/src/linux. Or, just make the whole kernel maybe?

Did you try changing /setting $(TOPDIR) in the makefile?

I believe it's supposed to be /usr/src/linux, because the file it wants is /usr/src/linux/Rules.make
