It's for precisely this reason I stopped using 'make install'.

Stupid question, but are you sure you were booting the right kernel?
Could you have not changed the default kernel label to point to 
yours, or forgotten to specify at boot time to use the new kernel?

As I'm sure you know, just running lilo to recognize your new kernel 
does no good if there's a default label pointing to some *other* 
kernel.  So, if the default tried to install the ext3 mod, and it's 
no longer there, you're screwed.

I don't think so.  I don't ever remember using it.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
