This is the end result of a (brief) conversation with Tom Oehler regarding the
difficulties in using his rescue disk (tomsrtbt) with Mandrake. He asked me to pass
it along.

Ah. Known issues. They changed the defaults for mke2fs so that
filesystems are created with "sparse-superblocks" and sometimes with
"ext2-filetype" support. Tomsrtbt-1.7.185 fixed the sparse superblock
issue, the next one will fix the ext2-filetype one, I am hoping for the
kernel 2.0.39 to be released someday, if it doesn't I'll just apply the
patch. For the sparse you can just get 1.7.185, for the ext2-filetype
you would have to either replace 2.0.37 with a 2.2.x kernel or apply the
2.0.39-pre patches and rebuild.
