That was that problem.

Now, the kernel is failing during boot.

As my / is ext3, I compiled EXT3 support into the kernel (rather than a module).  However, the kernel is loading / as ext2, not reading the partition table, and then segfaulting a few milliseconds later.

So, how do I tell it that / is EXT3?  Weirder, it has no problem with detecting this when booting the Stock Kernel????

Thanks,
Steve
