Just a longshot, but have you tried leaving out the -t ext2 parameter. Is the filesysten on the hdb1 ext2 or maybe some other type? When I was using SuSE, RieserFS was my default. Also have you tried mounting the other partition hdb2? This is where you probably have your data anyway. Just a thought.
