ext3 compiled-in vs module in FC4

[Tim Taranov]

Hi - 

I was wondering why FC4 has ext3 as a kernel module rather than having
it  compiled into the kernel?

The reason I'm asking is because I encountered an issue with booting
FC4 from a raid volume with ext3 compiled as a module (the default
configuration) - the kernel would panic after not being able to mount
/. After I rebuilt the kernel to have the ext3 compiled-into the
kernel, the booting problem went away (my /boot and / are ext3-based,
running off a h/w raid controller based volume).

I was using the default FC4 test 3 at the time - I haven't tried it
with the latest kernel, but I suspect the results may be the same.

Thanks,
Tim
