Weird. fat.ko and vfat.ko are definitely built into both F25 and F26
kernels. I wonder if this can be a side effect of mixing and matching
kernel and module versions? This is pretty easy to do inadvertently
when sharing /boot where the kernel version used to boot ends up not
matching the modules version in root fs.

You can try adding nofail to the fstab; and once you're booted see if
you can mount it manually.

F25 is installed on LVM? If so it's probably this old silly bug:
