you're not supposed to be editing/modifying /etc/mtab
to convert from ext2 to ext3, i assumeassume you did:
tunefs -j /dev/hdaXX
what is the contents of /etc/fstab
- it should say ext3 instead of ext2
does the kernel support ext3 natively in the kernel ??
if it doesn't, you will either need to rebuuild a kernel with ext3
support built in or use an initrd to install the ext3 modules before
booting "all the way up"
