It depends on the kernel. If it mounts first as ext2 then it will be checked
that way and it _will_ mount as the first one detected if it is /. For the
others, they should mount as /etc/fstab directs. So check /etc/fstab. If
that partition is /, then check how modules are loaded. We had fun getting
journal playback to work in Mandrake 8.1 for just this reason.
