Thank you for tracing my problem.
It's true that my root system is of ext3 format.
I only got the compiled image from the mirror site security.debian.org.
I don't know if ext3 is compiled is built into the kernel or compiled
as a module.
Do I have to check that before I reboot the system?
I'm sure that my cpu is hyper-thread enabled.
Shall I choose the 686 version of 2.6.18 kernel in the new source tree?
