There's your problem. The /etc/fstab is not available to the kernel until AFTER the root filesystem has been loaded (obviously!), so the boot process needs to work out the root fs type from something else. Red Hat Linux uses an initrd whenever any modules are required for the boot process (eg. for ext3), and the initrc rc script remembers what type of filesystem to mount rootfs as. So if you change the root fs type, you _must_ rebuild the initrd.
