Something is not right. And I can reproduce it by booting the rescue
grub option, which after a few kernel updates, is a kernel+initramfs
which does not have a corresponding /usr/lib/modules for that version
of kernel. For the purpose of rescue, this makes it rather suboptimal
that I can't mount any vfat file systems.
And lsmod shows the problem but not the cause:

It's got a bunch of kernel modules loaded, but not fat or vfat. Goofy.
I'd say it's a bug. It's supposed to be built into the kernel so how
is it not listed?
