Probably vfat just needs to be enabled in the kernel config. See if you
have /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o . If not, you need to
turn on
<M> DOS FAT fs support
<M> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support
and run "make clean dep modules" as the person who first did any
compilation of the source, and then "make modules_install" as root.
Or it could be some weird variation of (V)FAT which vfat.o doesn't handle.
