Since the main ext3 issue in this thread appears fully debugged, I'll
toos out a few kernelly comments:
> 1) downloaded and untarred kernel 2.4..18 in /usr/src
> 2) applied the linux-2.4.18-ipvs-1.0.1.patch
If you want to keep your previous kernel source, I would untar it to
/usr/local/src/ or some other similar locale. Newer kernel releases
untar their contents to a directory named simply ?linux?. Older kernel
tar archives would untar to a directory containing the release version
in the name, such as ?linux-2.4.9?. If you leave your previous kernel
and its source intact, you can still fall back to it if you have
problems with a newer kernel. Renaming the new kernel source directory
from ?linux? to ?linux-<version>? will help avoid this problem. Of
course, you would then need to add the symlink /usr/src/linux pointing
to the new source directory.

When I run "make install" it does not only steps 13 and 14, but it also
copies the system.map file too. It doesn't *hurt* to do it, but it's a
bit redundant - and repetitive too. It might even do setep 15 for you,
but I'm not so sure. anyone?

As a final comment - save your .config file somewhere for use on 'redo
the kernel days', that is, unless you really like surfing menuconfig
each time. ;)
Clue-by-four me as needed.
