f8 LiveCD corrupts older RHEL AS 2.1 ext3 file systems

I have been looking at trying to recover some old systems.
And if I boot RHEL AS 2.1 cd into rescue mode and create /boot file system.
And then use f8 LiveCD to restore data to /boot with tar it corrupts the
file system.
If I run fsck /dev/hda2 from As 2.1 it tells me it is clean, but if I run
fsck -f /dev/hda2 is says there are problems.
AS 2.1 has no network support in rescue mode.
I have been able to use AS 3 and it seems okay with the file system.

Any ideas on what is going on?

If I do like / then when I run fsck I loose a bunch of files and the system
won't boot.

The funny thing is that if I do the same thing with AS 3 it is fine.
And I know that the ext3 file systems are different between AS 2.1 and 3.

So to recap LiveCD works with AS 3 ext3 file systems okay, but not AS 2.1
ext3 file systems.

I would love to stop using AS 2.1, but that isn't an option right now.

Thanks for any help,

Jerry Williams
