I had a related problem. I did a full install on a system which
installed ext3 filesystems by default. The system booted and ran just
fine. Because I wanted to use Partition Magic to resize partitions,
and it does not yet know about ext3, I converted all of the partitions
to ext2. The system refused to boot with a message (which I did not
write down) that implied that it was objecting to the root filesystem
no longer being an ext3 filesystem. For various reasons, we did a full
reinstall, so I do not know what a "kinder, gentler" fix might be.
