thanks for these ideas. Hmmm. FWB disk tools lets you see the partitions and they don't look much different to the examples I've seen. There's no other strange things, just OS 9.1 on one drive and OS 8 on the other.
Maybe I will reformat the drive I want to use and try again.

I've looked on the net for solutions without success. Could it be anything to do with the fact that this machine uses FWB disk drivers instead of Apple ones?
Shouldn't be an issue, my 5400 has FWB drivers on its main HDD. Its not like Linux is using the Classic drivers anyway.
However, what COULD be an issue is if you have a completely weird partition layout caused by over liberal usage of FWB tools. Or installing BeOS (it has a habit of eating partition boundaries because it doesn't bother with them. Useful if you've only got a small drive)...
Also, do you have any unexpected-for-Linux filesystems on your HDD? E.g the old MacintoshFS, BFS, and the like - even FAT/32. The error looks like it could be filesystem related.
