I think you are talking -i386 type kaernel-image package

ext3 is provided as a modules for your case.
Problem is in some kernel-image, ext2 is provided as a part of
compiled-in kernel and not as module. If both are modules, you can
mount root as ext3. Read other reply for which flavour gives you this
option. I use 2.4.18-686-smp and happy on my 2 X P233MMX on BP6. My
i486DX2-50MHz notebook suffer since I use 2.4.17-386.
Check /proc/filesystems and make sure ext3 shows up earlier than ext2.
Also check /proc/mounts to see real mount status of root (mount command
is not useful for this purpose.)
