Hfsutils and mounting a firewire drive?

[John Davis]

Hi everyone,
                  I did a "modprobe" for "hfsutils" and found that the 
module wasn't there so I got the third cd of YDL and located the 
hfsutils-x11-3.2.6-5.ppc.rpm file (I assume this is the correct one). I 
did the usual rpm -U  and then did the modprobe again but nothing was 
found so I installed it again, said it was already installed so  then I 
did a verify then it said not installed!!!!!!! i don't know what is 
going on? Are there any special privileges for the files on the extra 
two cd's?

                 I followed the instructions on the HowTo page at 
Yellowdog referring to mounting a firewire drive , did the tail -f 
/var/log/messages  command and then turned on my drive, you are 
supposed to get an indication as to what sda it is well, I got from 
sda1 to sda12????? Does that mean my drive is not readable or what? By 
the way I tried mounting them all and none were found in the fstab 
directory.

               These are exactly the same problems I encountered with 
YDL3, except for the internet connection nothing has changed. I 
couldn't mount my OSX  drive then anyway, maybe it is just a lost 
cause? Another quick question too, why does the Audio Player try to 
read the inserted YDL disk and therefore I couldn't unmount it as it 
was taking an eternity to realise it couldn't read it.

             John, baffled again.
