Just for fun, before you recompile the kernel, (as root) type:
modprobe vfat
This should insert the vfat module, if present, and you'll be ready to
go. If you're running the stock install kernel I'm 99.9 percent sure
vfat is a module.
If that DOES solve the problem, you should look into kerneld, which
automagically loads (and unloads) modules for you when needed. To
enable it, uncomment the "auto" line in /etc/modules .
