I guess they are in the standard kernel. If they were not the message
should be different.

I have no idea what kind of filesytem it is. It was created by OS X,
probably 10.0 or 10.1. hfs_fsck from 10.1 compiled for Linux does work
on it.

The userland hfstools cannot work sice they only understand hfs.

The other tools for hfsplus do not work. They can identify the
filesystem and "mount" it but they cannot perform anything on it.

I installed a 2.4 kernel and it can mount the partition and I see some
reasonable content on it. But it cannot mount my partitions specified in
fstab, I can only boot it with init=/bin/sh.
