migrating from ext2 to ext3

I am concerned in regards to migrating / to ext3. Because I've compiled ext3 as a module, do I need to put this in initrd if I intend to migrate / to ext3? Also, what happens if I fall back on a previous kernel that does not have ext3 support? How would I recover from this? Thanks.

ok, I've read that you can turn off the force check via "tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 /dev/sd??". Is this a good idea? If so when you do your force check manually, does the filesystem have to be unmounted? Thanks.
