The current version of Fedora-11 which I have defaults
to using ext4 with SeLinux enabled (it needs the ext4
larger extended attribute area for its version of SeLinux).

I don't think 2.6.17 had a decent version of ext4.

So, disable SeLinux in the F-11 installation, which
will allow you to use ext3 instead.
I am guessing, but fairly sure that will fix your guest.
