There are no ext3 drivers in the 2.2 kernel. I would lean toward this
being a bug in DrakX for allowing you to format it to a fs type that
your kernel can't support. In its defense, I believe it will normally
install the regular 2.4 kernel by default, so that is probably the
reason it's allowing you to do so.
Further digging:
