Hi,
It looks like you may not have ext3 support when booting. ext3 filesystems can be mounted as ext2 without journalling and this appears to be what's happening. Make sure you either have ext3 built into the kernel or it is available at boot time (initrd?).

Has it ever booted?
did you change something?--if so, what?

During installation, it should tell you how the disk would be partitioned, and what filesystem would be used

Try tune2fs -j on the filesystem to check if it actually has a journel

Try cat /proc/filesystems to check you have ext3 support compiled

/var/log/messages:

RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 32000K size 1024 blocksize
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.

Something like

tune2fs -j /dev/hda1

But the ext2_fill_super: is the problem. It does seem that you have ext3 compiled as a module and have no initrd available. You'll have to compile ext3 into the kernel or have your bootloader point to the initrd image.
