The filesystem is ext3 as notated in fstab.

I don't think I have anything like that going.  Here's my grub.conf:

---
timeout 2
default 0
fallback 1

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.14-hardened-r2
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.14-hardened-r2 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb,mtrr vga=0x318

title Gentoo Linux 2.6.14-hardened-r1 (Fallback)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.14-hardened-r1_fallback root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb,mtrr vga=0x318
---

Maybe this is a bug in one of the packages I've updated recently?
