That appears to be it. the /etc/filesystems didn't include ext4 at all, and has 
ntfs-3g and ntfs listed. I added the ext4 after the ext3 line. Interestingly, 
the 
/etc/filesystems on the  fedora 12 machine doesn't have ext4 listed at all, but 
the /proc/filesystems on the fedora 12 has the ext4 listed after the ext3 line, 
but no ext2 line?

Does the order make a difference? Is there a better or best order? 

Thanks.
Currently, creating a new build to test it out, but that should be the fix. 
Always learning more stuff...
