Your debian probably created your ext2 filesystem with
the sparse-super flag on.  The BL3 e2fsck pre-dates the
sparse-super option.

Yeah, that's what happens when the filesystem was formated
with sparse-super on.

Same problem.  Next time you use Debian to format a
filesystem, try turning off the sparse-super flag.
Then it should work with BL3.
