I think what Volker is _trying_ to get at is that maybe ext4 isn't  
compiled into your kernel, because maybe the options have changed in  
the kernel's .config files between vanilla-2.6.28 and gentoo- 
sources-2.6.29-5.

The error message you see might well be consistent with attempting to  
mount the volume using the ext3 driver.

Suggest you post the .config file against which you built your new  
kernel.
