Bug#274316: Kernels missing ext3



Package: kernel-image
Version: 2.4.26-1-686, 2.4.27-1-686
Severity: critical

After installing both of these kernels, my computer went into kernel panic
because it could not read my filesystem (ext3).  Upon further investigation,
ext3 is only a module.  I currently run 2.4.18-bf2.4 as installed from Woody
3.0r2.  ext3 is compiled into the kernel there.  Since ext3 is so common,
wouldn't it make sense to add support for this fs so people do not have to
compile kernels themselves?

I suggest compiling ext3 right into the kernel.

Using Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r2, 2.4.18-bf2.4
