To resolve this issue of yours , you guys should take care of the following few things:-
1. while you are configuring the kernel make sure that you keep ext2 and ext3 as built in the kernel and not as modules.
2. after doing a make modules_install you should do
mkinitrd
3. now do a make install
i think this should solve ur problem.
PS: correct me if i have been unclear or wrong anywhere
