I can't find ext3 modul

Hi,
after updating system i cannot boot to system.
System write me :

Root device '/dev/sda5' doesn't exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda5'
ERROR: unable to create/detect root device '/dev/sda5'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit' to reboot

The same problem has been solved at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9014
But when I try generate kernel26.img  (mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img) system write me tahat cannot find module ext3.

Please update mkinitcpio to version 0.5.18.1 (0.5.18 may be broken, not sure). Then run mkinitcpio -p kernel26 and see if it boots then.

Re: I can't find ext3 modul

try adding at mkinitcpio.conf: (I solved with this)

MODULES="ata_generic ata_piix ext3"

mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img
