ext2 never worked for me last I tried it, it just failed to parse the filesystem I think rather than aborted, is it working for you after this? It would simplify SD Card boot a bit since we have a VFAT partition first to allow kernel to be picked up by U-Boot currently.
Without the patch, accessing an ext2/ext3 filesystem causes some sort of stack corruption that can have various symptoms (not always the same error message). As noted in the Trac entry (#799) the root cause of this is still unknown.
With the patch I am able to execute 'ext2ls' and 'ext2load' reliably, and I have been running with an ext3 SD-card rootfs (including kernel) on my GTA01 for several months. I don't have access to a GTA02 so I can't test it there.
