I am pretty sure that drive is spinning because my root partition is on it :) and this occurs now and then on boot, sometimes when mounting by hand. But the partition is readable after mounting, even when those strange errors appear.
>- Make sure the module is loaded beforehand (modprobe(8) by hand) I am using kmod to autoload the needed modules, thus this may be not an issue. I will try to compile vfat into the kernel and test is so.
