There is a driver called Ext2FS that is able to access ext2 filesystems from within OS X. Because of its unfortunate name, it is *very* hard to find. The latest version I have is named Ext2FS_1.4d1.dmg. I'll send it separately to you Jerome so I don't clutter up the list. --- Jerome BENOIT <[EMA

Hi Vincent, Sounds like a bug report to me :) Suggestions? Why not downgrade to 2.6.17 and lick your wounds while developers find what's amiss? YMMV but I've found 2.6.17.13 to be the most stable of kernels supporting Apple hardware They don't call it the bleeding edge for nothin'! :) J
