Age and the art of making a EXT3 File System Kernel

[John <aa6qn@pacbell.net>]

Gaddsss, I really must be aging. I have successfully built a working 
EXT3 kernel in the past and have forgotten the requirements. I have 
selected in the "file systems" Yes for the ext2 and Module for the ext3 
journal file systems. There is something else in the back of my mind 
that saying that I am missing something.  Currently the attempts that I 
have built do a kernel panic right at the point where it mounts the root 
partition. LABEL=/  "cant be found". I have tried both module and hard 
select for the ext3 file systems with the same results.

I am using RH8.0 with formatted scsi ext3 file system. The canned 
2.4.18-14 loads just fine but it lacks the dmascc0 drivers that I need 
to ax25. I was attempting to build a 2.4.19 smp kernel.

Could some kind sole refresh my memory with the ext3 file system 
requirements.

Thank you in advance. John
