Well,
either I've missed some extra info somewhere (most likely)
or 2.4.9-12 from RedHat doesn't contain ext3.
My system is not fully updated so I couldn't install the 2.4.9-12
source (my version of gcc is not the most recent) but I removed the
current one.
Other than that everything else went smoothly.
I've attached an extreemly edited and commented history file of what
I have done
Anyone got any more hints? :-)

MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
rpm -K --nogpg util-linux-2.11f-17.i386.rpm e2fsprogs-1.23-1.7.1.i386.rpm
rpm -Fvh util-linux-2.11f-17.i386.rpm e2fsprogs-1.23-1.7.1.i386.rpm
tune2fs -j /dev/hda5
vi /etc/fstab
(change / to ext3)
shutdown -r now
cat /proc/mounts
(still says ext2 of course)
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.2-2
rpm -K --nogpg *.rpm 2>&1 | grep -v OK
(no output - means everything is OK)
rpm -Fvh initscripts-5.84.1-1.i386.rpm mkinitrd-3.2.6-1.i386.rpm

rpm -ev kernel-source
rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.4.9-12.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.9-12.i386.rpm
(fails due to gcc version - assume that is OK - don't need it?)
rpm -Uvh tux-2.1.0-2.i386.rpm modutils-2.4.6-4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.9-12.i686.rpm
vi lilo.conf
(rename current kernel and add new one)
lilo -v
rpm -Uvh kernel-doc-2.4.9-12.i386.rpm
shutdown -r now
reboots saying it is 2.4.9-12 but
cat /proc/mounts
(still says ext2)
tune2fs -j /dev/hda5
(says journal file already there)
during the "init" rpm upgrade I got the error:
"error: cannot remove /var/lib/rpm - directory not empty"
but that seems harmless enough :-)
