    Ok, I got the module patched and compiled successfully into a 2.4.20 kernel in gentoo.  I can modprobe hfsplus, and the module shows up fine.  However, when I try to mount a drive (in this case, a mac-formatted iPod), I get an error message and the following information shows up in the syslog:

    May  1 23:24:22 casus scsi0 : IEEE-1394 SBP-2 protocol driver (host: ohci1394)

    Additionally, when I run fdisk, it says no partition table found, and attempts to add one to the drive.  What am I doing wrong?

      Make sure you have the "Macintosh Partition Map Support" enabled in your kernel.  It can be found at:

      File Systems | Partition Types | Macintosh Partition Map Support
