I think I'm sufficiently up to speed on the symptoms, now. The 9.3 system that you were able mount the UnixWare disk on has been upgraded to 10.1 RC3 and you're no longer able to mount the UnixWare disk after following the same procedure.
Can you please point me to the documentation that you used to compile the module?
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15.8/README
And a file I created on SUSE Pro 9.2 called build all_for_linux_unixware
cd /usr/src/linux-Kernal-Source/ make cloneconfig make modules_prepare make menuconfig make xconfig make make modules make install make modules_install
And please post the results of lsmod | grep vx
# lsmod | grep vx freevxfs 14212 0
Also in my notes make sure UNIXWARE DISKLABLE is yes.
CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL=y

FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS
VxFS(TM) file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard
file system of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally
available for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating
systems. Currently only readonly access is supported.
NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and
fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
the actual driver.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called freevxfs. If unsure, say N.

---help---
Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a
partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is
incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to
read VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from
within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system
support" or "System V and Coherent file system support", above.
This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your
Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or
removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to
transport files and directories between unixes (and even other
operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or
preferably "info tar").
If you don't know what all this is about, say N.
