Ani,

sorry to repeat this, but HFS is not safe. I just tried your 2.3.24
kernel, and it booted on my Pmac 6400 (603ev processor, maybe this is
the problem), which is more than I can say about the 2.3.24 kernels I
compiled myself (it would be nice to see your .config file).

When I mounted a HFS ZIP disk, I could read it OK, but copying a 2MB
file to it gave me an immediate system freeze with a 1-line error
message "inode.c:250". The ZIP disk is unreadable now and has to be
reformatted. This kind of thing happened before with 2.3.22 kernels. I'd
like to try 2.3.25, but with all this undefined vm_offset stuff all over
the place it is so horribly broken that I am unable to compile it.
