The problem is that you probably have a journal option in your lilo.conf
file, which is getting passed to the ramdisk and not the real root fs.
If you have already mounted it as ext3, then you don't need any journal
mount options, as the filesystem will mount as ext3 before it tries to
mount as ext2.

You need a rescue floppy for sure. It doesn't need ext3 support, but it
does need debugfs to be able to turn off the recovery feature so you can
mount it in emergency.
