Mostly likely you just need the modules; try booting into the initrd and
doing "modprobe ext4". If that works, copy /lib/modules/3.10* to your root
filesystem and/or install the appropriate linux package (I'm sure there's
a post from Thorsten as to which package that is).
As per usual, you'll have to generate an initrd or else build a new kernel
if your root filesystem is ext4 and your present kernel lacks built-in
support for ext4.

I'd be willing to bet that any conventional filesystem with journaling
disabled would be faster than any with journaling enabled.

SONIC ethernet is much faster than 8390 (thanks to DMA) if you can find
such a card.
