Hello,
The recent changes in 2.6.7-bk15 broke FAT support. I am doing some
rescue backup systems here using tools like syslinux and mtools to
format a normal msdos disk (for el-torito). I figured out that after
creating and formating of these disks that it is impossible to mount
them with 'msdos' or 'vfat'. Even recompiling mtools with current
changes show the same issues. Please someone check up and fix the issues
(maybe reverting the changes).

You may be able to check for yourself precisely which change caused
trouble for you. The only very recent change is one that makes the
kernel more permissive.
Give details on what versions work for you, what versions don't.
Give the exact error messages. Give the first few sectors of the
filesystem that you cannot mount but can mount with an earlier kernel.

Check syslog for error messages, I had a similar problem due to the
codepage module not being loaded. Sometime after 2.6.7 there were config
changes for FAT default codepage.
