Okay, and reading the help for CONFIG_EXT3_FS, I see that it says it
can't.  So my next question is, why does it work on 2.4.17-686?  Are
there both modules and compiled in ext3 drivers?  The config file that 
came with it (in the package kernel-headers-2.4.17-686) has:
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m
and later,
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m

So now I'm a bit puzzled...
