Shouldn't there be e3fsprogs for ext3?
afte i rebooted my /dev/hda5 partition is not geting mounted
what is /dev/hda5
properly ls -l shows it as a directory as 8 k and cd says not a directory
That's because it is not a directory. /dev/hda5 is a block special device with major number 3 and minor number 5.
also during bootup I get a swapon error saying that invalid -e option.
find out where in your startup scripts swapon is called, and what options it takes, and then check what these options mean.
booting from an older kernel does not give any such errors...
What are the changes you made apart from compiling in ext3?
