I've tried to explain more than once that you need ext3 support in the
kernel in order for that first ext3 mount to work. I've also explained
why. What mtab says after you're booted up is of no consequence.
I've spent some time on trying to help you, and now you point out that
you're not even using a debian distribution, but a knoppix one. This is
a debian, not a knoppix list.
In any case, all the answers are already in the posts which I've shared
with you. You can also check out the Linux howtos on filesystems and
kernel.
As you are using knoppix, and you also persist in emailing me personally
despite my request for you not so to do, I will spend no more of my time
on this.
