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?
