Updating a kernel and ext3

[Ali Hussnain Shah]

hi,
i have switched successfully from debian to fedora2-x86_64 . afterwards
i have updated my distro kernel from 2.6.5-1.358 to 2.6.8-1.521 with 
redhat update manager. Now whenever i boot with 2.6.8 the kernel boots 
root ext3 filesystem as ext2 and kudzu wants to uninstall some hardware 
devices, so currently i have to switch back to 2.6.5.

any hints?? my fstab is as follows

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults  1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults  1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults  0 0
/dev/hde3               /experiment             vfat    defaults  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults  0 0
none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults  0 0
/dev/hda2               swap                    swap    defaults  0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
