Many thanks for this help. Yes, I recompiled the kernel as suggested and
I now can access my linux partitions.
However, the compile didn't go very smoothly. The first time I tried it
I included support for a usb scanner because I have an Epson 1650
Perfection, but this failed as follows:
linking kernel
usb_ethersubr.o: In function `usbintr':
usb_ethersubr.o(.tex+0x31): undefined reference to `ether_input'
*** Error code 1
In the config file I had enabled:
device uhci
device usb
device uscanner
I therefore recompiled without usb support, but this isn't ideal.
Is it possible to say what the problem may be from the above?
