2.2.0pre3 won't mount my FAT32 partitions

I have 3 FAT32 partitions:
/dev/hda2 * 2 439 3518235 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda5 440 637 1590403+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdc2 262 699 3518235 b Win95 FAT32

They all have 4K clusters. I am unable to mount any of them under
2.2.0-pre3:

[root@gecko /root]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@gecko /root]# tail -2 /var/log/messages
Jan 2 18:44:34 gecko kernel: fat_read_super: Bad fsinfo_offset
Jan 2 18:44:34 gecko kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem
on dev 03:02.

I get the same errors for all 3 partitions.

Howerver, I am able to mount VFAT floppies.
