Are you sure about this? ext2 is also a module in the latest stock
kernels, have a closer look at the /boot/config.x.y! I was surprised by
this myself. The modules have to reside in the initrd and they have to be
loaded, but it works, even with modules!

Re-read my mail, I did change the fstab. Maybe the defaults entry messes
things up? Dunno, will investigate if nobody else already knows the
solution.
