Package: linux-image-3.2.0-2-powerpc64
Version: 3.2.15-1

I cannot mount USB Flash storage device. From GUI, I'm getting ``Error
mounting: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'."

``mount'' command gives me:

>> # mount /dev/sdh1 /mnt/usb_flash/
>> mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

>> # cat /proc/filesystems | grep vfat | wc -l
>> 0

Modprobbing and insmodding don't help:

>> # modprobe vfat
>> ERROR: could not insert 'vfat': No such file or directory

>> # find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name *vfat*
>> /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko

>> # insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
>> Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko: Unknown symbol in module

It mounts with `-type msdos', but I'm getting weird names like NAME~1.XXX.

I tried several times to re-install linux-image-3.2.0-2-powerpc64
package (just if you thought it is damaged on my side or so).
MD5 sum of the module file is:
f515cf0ed5bc8fc882478c8b5900d60e
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko

The '#1' doesn't mean anything for a Debian package.  The
'3.2.0-2-powerpc64' distinguishes binary-incompatible builds, but is not
changed when we add symbols (any more than libc6 is renamed when it adds
symbols).
