Based on a very quick code scan, I believe that this is an old bug never
discovered rather than a recent regression (now that I think of it, I
did see other people in the past unable to mount from vfat after kernel
upgrade).
The initrd in the live cd explicitly adds vfat via casper hooks:
./hooks/casper:manual_add_modules vfat
but the same does not hold for regular initramfs-tools.
In particular, there is no vfat reference in initramfs-tools/hook-
functions auto_add_modules>base and dep_add_modules. So when a new
initramfs is generated there is no vfat.
** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

There is no vfat module in the 2.6.24-17 initrd
