Judging from the above you are using a 2.0.x kernel and I'm guessing you are mounting a Windows/DOS parition at boot. As the 2.0 kerneld kernel module loader is started later in the boot process than mounting all your partitions, you get these warnings when your try to mount a FAT partition (it needs them to translate filenames, etc). You can fix this by adding the Native Language/Codepage support you need directly by simply listing them in /etc/modules. HTH, Ian.
