as well as /sbin/mount_ext2fs, you need in your kernel configuration
file 

"options         EXT2FS", 

although, my LINT file (V4.0-R) says...

# Add support for the EXT2FS filesystem of Linux fame.  Be a bit
# careful with this - the ext2fs code has a tendency to lag behind
# changes and not be exercised very much, so mounting read/write could
# be dangerous (and even mounting read only could result in panics.)

hmmm... 'all care, no responsibility' I guess ;')

GBY,

h
