ufs error while booting

i'm back compiling an older kernel to support a RAID card under RH
enterprise linux. so far, i have only succeeded once. every compile
since has booted with a message saying that:

you did not specify the type of your ufs filesystem.

i'm using ext3 on my hard drive. this is stated in the /etc/fstab
file that i am using ext3. WHY is the kernel booting under the
impression that i want ufs support?

please advise.

ehm.. isn't ext3 rather new? Are you sure your older kernel supports it?

just a thought..
