'cat /proc/mounts' :

/dev/root.old /initrd cramfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda4 /mnt ext2 rw 0 0
 
'cat /etc/fstab' :
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system>	<mount point>	<type>	<options>			<dump>	<pass>
/dev/hdb3	/		ext2	defaults,errors=remount-ro	0	1
/dev/hdb2	none		swap	sw			0	0

there is not ext3 ?

in "/boot/config-2.4.18-386" there is : CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m

and 'modconf' gives :  ext3 +

but perhaps I have to recompile the kernel whith CONFIG_EXT3-FS=y ?
