I am trying to escape from the swap storm hell that is 2.4.8 ( I assume that 
is what is happening when the HD is churning, then X gets less responsive, 
then finally no response, and no slowdown in HD churning after 10-15 minutes, 
finally hard rebooting). 

So I have compiled 2.4.13. Everything seems fine, except when I boot I get a 
Kernel Panic saying that it can't mount the root ext2 partition due to extra 
options. The root is ext3, but I was under the impression that ext3 could be 
booted as ext2 with just a loss of Journalling features. Where should I start 
to look for answers? Should I patch the kernel for ext3 support?
