Looks like ext2 was not *built into* the kernel.  If you used a gentoo 
kernel-sources, and you weren't careful when doing make config, it is 
very likely that you left the default, which is ext2 support as a 
module.  If you used the gentoo kernel package (binary), then that is 
definitely your problem.
