You are stealing the thread.... but you made me just realize something very
important.
You have this problem because you do not have ext3 support built in your
kernel (you have it as a module). I had the same issue, i got this:
EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,8)): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem
as ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Not good!.
So I just recompiled my kernel, making sure to include (in filesystems) ext3
built in the kernel, and now I get this:
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Thank you man!, you saved me from a lot of pain after my next crash!.
