I don't have that problem since I compiled jbd and ext3 into my kernel. IIRC (my memory is a bit fuzzy) when I was using modules I had the same problem when using SuSE's mk_initrd with ext3, but the problem went away when I downloaded Redhat's mkinitrd and build an initrd with that instead.
This was also mentioned in the Linux Format review of SuSE 7.3 Pro. http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ext3_rootfs_73.html HTH. Regards, Jon
