I got this: $ sudo file -s /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: ERROR: cannot read `/dev/sr0' (Input/output error) So I recompiled the kernel to include both hfs and hfsplus and got the same after booting with the new kernel and loading the modules. Dmesg had this: $ dmesg | tail [...] [ 208.369492] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [ 208.369495] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [ 208.369497] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

Maybe it wasn't written on a Mac, but I'd be surprised if so. I'm stuck now. Thanks both for your help so far. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
