Need help with disk quota's

Oki... I know there are other boards that deal with disk quota's, but none of them have helped me. I followed http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Quota.html but I run into the issue of my kernel not supporting the filesystem.

Here's my setup:

kernel 2.4.26-gentoo-r9 - Genkernel compile
running ext3 for the partition i want quotas on

More specific this is the message i get : Failed to turn on quotas : quotaon: using /home/aquota.user on /dev/hde4 [/home]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

I double checked the genkernel's menuconfig and I'm almost positive that it enabled quota support.

It obviously didn't.

You need two things:
- new quota file support (quota format v2)
- mount the partition with userquotas (usrquota)
