 If your fstab looks like;

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

 then of course ext2 only kernels will fail. You'd have to change the
above ext3 to "auto" or "ext2".

 Hmm. Seen a *lot* of evil problems with Reiser - mainly reiserfsck
sticking in loads of null's into files. Causes pain and suffering.
