Maybe. First see if you have a loadable module for hpfs. It's almost
certainly called hpfs. Here's how I would do that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/src $ find /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-1-k7/ | grep hpfs
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-1-k7/kernel/fs/hpfs
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-1-k7/kernel/fs/hpfs/hpfs.ko
Then load the module into your kernel:
modprobe hpfs
Now you should be able to mount that partition. You can always check which
filesystems your kernel supports by looking at /proc/filesystems, like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/src $ cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev futexfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev pipefs
nodev eventpollfs
nodev devpts
cramfs
nodev ramfs
nodev devfs
nodev mqueue
ext3
ext2
iso9660
vfat
jfs
reiserfs
xfs
nodev usbfs
nodev usbdevfs
