Boot partition won't mount after upgrade to kernel 3.15.2-1-ARCH

After upgrade to kernel 3.15.2-1-ARCH my system can't load the vfat module, and so can not mount the boot partition.

Jun 28 15:37:18 myhost mount[240] : mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Jun 28 15:37:18 myhost systemd[1] : boot.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32
Jun 28 15:37:18 myhost systemd[1] : Failed to mount /boot.

If I try to load the 'vfat' module manually I get:

# insmod /lib/modules/3.15.2-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko.gz
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.15.2-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko.gz: Unknown symbol in module

Any ideas as to what might have gone wrong?

Have you tried googling for the errors you're getting? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=946137

I have. 

In the link you posted:

A) Yes, I have rebooted.

B) I can't reinstall the kernel since I can't mount "/boot". 

I will  downgrade the kernel, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the issue with this one, and what the solution might be...

Something is really odd with your setup.  No issues for me:

% sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /boot/efi

I remember reading that there is a different module for vfat partitions...
