This might depend on whether you used the previous .config as your default or the standard defaults (which live in somewhere like /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig). I'd have expected a kernel based on your previous version to carry on with FAT/VFAT, but neither is enabled in the "standard" defaults. A quick way to check what you've got would be: `grep FAT /usr/src/linux/.config` but it sounds like you need another build, making sure nothing important goes missing.
