As you did not tell me the error message, I can't say anything about "the vfs
part". But, see, if you didn't include support for a filesystem you're using
into your kernel, then it's pretty obvious that the kernel can't use that
specific filesystem, right?
That's why people were insistently telling you _not_ to use genkernel.
