On 6.2 it probably would be a little more work. However the 7.x releases 
have ext3 support built as a module. They also include the tools to 
create the needed initrd.img so that the ext3 module is available at boot 
time.
The original poster asked if ext3 support was available in the Red Hat 7.1 
kernels. For the 7.1 release, modular ext3 support is available in the 
stock kernels and easily enabled.
