Thanks for your help...
I believe I have 'built in' EXT3 support. I just checked the 'menuconfig' and see a *
beside it.
Here's the grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.21)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.21.img

root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.9.img
