    You should have ext3 support built into the kernel, unless 
you use the initrd way, that lets you load it as a module. I 
think you should have ext2 too.

    In order to mount the root filesystem as ext3, you have to 
set that in fstab. Remember you can still mount your ext3 as 
ext2. Also you can turn an ext2 into ext3, and vice-versa, 
using tune2fs.
