fat16 is a whacky name for msdos

looks to me that your kernel supports fat16/msdos
but your kernel is not able ot use the modules
to talk tothe usb stick
manually do:
modprobe msdos
modprobe fat
modprobe vfat
and see what it spits out at you
than spit back and do:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-stick
and see what it barfs at you
if it still doesnt work ..
- change to 2.4.31 or 2.6.13 directly from kernel.org
and skip all the broken modified kernels
- the above kernel and usbstick should be working on your system
