I suspect some problem with partition table.
If you partitioned the disk using [c]fdisk, it will
label the partition as ext2, while the partition
actually contains the ext3 FS.

initrd.img  contains info about your the type of
partition, and AFAICT, [c]fdisk does not know
the difference between ext2 and ext3.

Please open the partition using a better partition
utility, like parted. Do something like

# parted /dev/sda print

and check the output.

HTH.

You mean you have other distros on this disk?
