Found it.
If I add the following lines at the beginning of my /linuxrc in
initrd image, it boots fine with ext3 as a module :

echo "Loading jbd.ko module"
insmod /lib/jbd.ko

So the problem may/must be in mkinitrd.
I'm working on it.

In the meantime, you can use these instructions (as root) to build a
correct initrd and run test9.2mdk :

cp /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz
gunzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz
mkdir initrd-2.6-test9
mount initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk initrd-2.6-test9 -o loop
my_favourite_editor_aka_emacs initrd-2.6-test9/linuxrc
# add the 2 lines to load jbd after #!/bin/nash
umount initrd-2.6-test9
gzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk
cp initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img
lilo # or install any other boot loader
