I've checked in your patch, after making some minor changes:

2004-06-27  Tomas Ebenlendr  <ebik@ucw.cz>

	* fs/ext2.c (FILETYPE_INO_MASK, FILETYPE_INO_DIRECTORY)
	(FILETYPE_INO_SYMLINK): New macros.
	(grub_ext2_find_file): Check if the node is a directory using the
	inode stat information instead of using the filetype in the
	dirent.  Exclude the first character of an absolute symlink.
	(grub_ext2_dir): Mask out the filetype part of the mode member of
	the inode.

I do not know why you moved the code to read the inode around.  I
didn't check that in.  Why is that required?

Please test if this works for you now.  It fixed my problem.

Thanks,
Marco
