nls.o gets compiled into the kernel if msdos, vfat, or joliet support
are enabled.  This message refers to the attempt to load nls_cp437.o
and nls_iso8859-1.o.  Make sure those got compiled.  It doesn't harm
anything if they can't load, but to get NLS translations, the NLS tables
need to be either compiled into the kernel or compiled as modules.
