You are *WAY* behind on your running kernel. Check /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and, assuming you have the more recent kernels installed, change it to
default to the current kernel and reboot. Alternatively, if you don't
want to edit grub.cfg just yet, reboot and *choose* the most current
kernel from the grub boot menu to test it.
I use ext4 all the time and don't have any problems with it.
