You need to be more precise. What lots of problems is fsck finding ? Please
include the exact wording.
And did you have the problems before changing the FS ? ( " I thought would be
eliminated with ext3" )
If you have had an unclean shutdown ( power out for instance ), FS will get
checked on next bootup. You may get messages like "unexpected inconsistency;
run fsck manually "
You also may need the newest version of e2fsprogs ( > 1.27 )
Have you checked that your kernel supports ext3 ( normally > 2.4.18, but not
always the stock kernels ).

It happens in my system also, which is clean ext3. Perhaps cfdisk is not in
the last shape !

Include also /etc/fstab
