Shana Tova,

If I'm not mistaken, you have 2 choices:

1. Format the hard drive to EXT2.
2. Upgrade to the latest 2.6.x kernel (maybe 2.4.x  kernel has the
same support for ext3, donno), and build e2fsprogs package
(http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/). After that, format the disk to
ext3.

This is from a RedHat 7.2 system that has been upgraded over the years. The
only thing original is the file that says which version it is. :-)

Note that if you do have to boot from a CD-ROM to rescue the system, it
will have to be RedHat 9 in order to access the ext3 file systems.
