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

These days the debian kernel makes use for intird to load modules
for pretty much everything. ext3 is not an exception to that.
Unfortunately this was not the case for woody, where initrd images
were not always required, and seldom used by people with ide systems.
