So far so good:-)
I compiled the kernel with ext3 filesystem.
There is only one problem:
I have a usb disk with an extended partition and in that extended
partition I created a logical partition the name of this logical
partition is : sdb5
When I try to mount sdb5
$mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/flash/root/disk
(or with $mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/flash/root/disk)
there is an error : no such file
I looked in the directory /dev and there is no sdb5
the kernel messages look good:

maybe I did something rong?
for compiling the kernel I did the following steps:
in devboard-R2_01/os/linux
$make menuconfig
=> filesystems => ext3 support
I saved the changes
cd ../..
$ make
. init_env
boot_linux -F -i fimage
