If you are running a kernel.org kernel (O assume that's what you mean) I don't
believe ext4 is there, or it's there as ext4dev module, or similar. You might
look and see of that's the case, and load ext4dev by hand if present.
Haven't run a K.O kernel since I started using ext4 for anything, so I can't say
for sure.
