Did you try to mount it via the loop device: mount -o loop -t hfs /dev/cdrom /mnt/wherever If this works, then you hit a kernel bug that was discussed 2 weeks ago on linuxppc-dev (thread "hfs cdrom broken in 2.4.13-pre" in http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-dev/200110/threads5.html). It seems to have been introduced around 2.4.10 and IIRC the result of the discussion was that nobody was going to fix it. Just a guess, could be something else entirely, of course. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
