This thread is stupid. If you want ext2 compiled into the kernel by default.. for goodness sake, do it yourself. It would be what.. a two line change in the ABS pkgbuild for the kernel? The original poster said he had a thin client farm using the old initrd image, so he has likely diverged from the current kernel install enough that he should be using (and testing) his own kernel PKGBUILD anyway. Storm in a teacup. /me facepalms
