I just had a similar experience with 2.0.33 and fs.

It could be that module dependences where not calculated when you
rebooted. 
Check to see if /lib/modules/2.0.32/modules.dep exists.
If not run depmod -a in /lib/modules/2.0.32
(You may need to reboot for this to take effect?)
Check to see if auto is in /etc/modules

The other option is to 
mv /lib/modules/2.0.32 /lib/modules/2.0.32.saved
and reinstall your custom kernel if you used make-kpkg and reboot.
(This fixed my problem!)

Hope this helps

John
