Could be that your kernel does not support ext3... You can recompile your kernel to add support, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. ext3 and ext2 are virtually identical; you just won't get the added benefits of journaling (which makes recovery a little easier if you have a power outage, or for some reason your disks aren't unmounted properly).
