That's all right, everyone knows that Salix users are "Lazy Slackers" and thus, being lazy, take the defaults. Which in this case is XFS

Well, this doesn't mean much really. Ext3/2 will still be supported, it's just that the ext4 driver will support those, instead of the ext3 driver, as ext4 is a superset of ext3. I think it's been like that for a while too.

No, this is the exact opposite. These messages show because the kernel tries to use the ext3 (and ext2) modules to access an ext4 partition. If the ext3/ext2 modules are removed, the messages will stop showing.

Put "rootfstype=ext4" on your boot command line and it should go away.
