24 I just checked and ext2 option is there in menuconfig. Here is the
25 options available:
26
27 │ │ <*> Second extended fs
28 support │ │
29 │ │ [ ] Ext2 extended attributes
30 (NEW) │ │
31 │ │ [ ] Ext2 execute in place support
32 (NEW) │ │
33
34
35 This is for Linux Kernel v2.6.30-gentoo-r5 which is what the OP posted.
36 I'm not sure why the option would not be there for him when it is here.
37 I don't recall ever seeing a kernel without ext2 and I been using Linux
38 for several years.
39
40 Me clueless. :/
