I mkfs'ed an ext3 on my regular Ubuntu system, and it mounted fine on my Alpha 400. The only catch was, I think it was, inode size. My Ubuntu system defaulted to 256, and the older kernel on the Alpha could only handle 128. Once I overrode that, I had nice ext3 storage on my SD card on the notebook. I then put a Debian chroot environment on the card, and ignore the old cruft on the base netbook storage. The GUI environment seems flaky about when it decides to mount up inserted storage. It can take a while, or sometimes I would pop out the card and then reinsert it. I now run non-GUI and under the CLI it's trivial to make it happen.
