I have an app that runs on an amiga as the front end to a mainfraim. The amiga boots off a syquest ez135 removable scsi disc drive. Back when I used SuSE 6.4/2.2.16 kernel I could mount these disks on my linux box. Of coarse I had to build my own kernel with the amiga support built in. All worked great. I could read/write these disks no problem. Now with 7.1 and 2.4.x kernel I can't even mount the amiga disks that I put in the drive. What happens is, the mount command gets frozen. I can't even kill the process. If I try to reboot, the machine hangs such that I have to hit the reset switch. I can format one of these disks (via the adaptec 2930U bios) then partition/format it as ext2 and all is well. So it appears that somewhere between 6.4/2.2.16 and 7.1/2.4.x the amiga filesystem support has gotten trashed. Is anyone out there using SuSE 7.1 and any of the SuSE kernels that can actually mount an amiga disk??
Have you made sure that the correct module for the filesystem is loaded before you try to mount (or rather, specify the filesystem to mount). If you let mount autodetect filesystems, then it won't pick up on any filesystem for which there isn't a module loaded or support compiled into the kernel.
