Redhat's 2.4.20 will boot with root=/dev/hda3 pointing to an ext3 filesystem, without an initrd, with the following message
ext2fs warning (device IDE0(3,3) ) ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
So I assumed that 2.6.0-test3 will also work with ext3 compiled as a module. I tried the various suggestions root=/dev/hda3, root=0303, root=03:03 without any luck.
I then tested a suggestion that ext3 should get compiled in but get the same results

Herbert's debug patch produced the same messages with ext3 compiled in.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
