Hello, all ...

I just procurred a new box with Gentoo on it, and I want to mount remote HFS+ partitions (from Macs running Mac OSX on the LAN). I'm trying to add HFS+ support to the kernel (currently 2.6.15) but i'm not having much success. I run "make menuconfig", choose HFS and HFS+ support, then exit / save / make / make install, then reboot ... but when I cat /proc/filesystems, I still don't see HFS+ support included.

The funny thing is that the new kernel does have it included, if the output of "make" is any indication (e.g. the first 2 LD lines):

In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, you
will need to reboot the machine. First, however, you will need to
either make a bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB
installed.

Checking for ELILO...No

GRUB is installed. To automatically switch to new kernels, point your
default entry in menu.lst to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r5

There is no menu.lst on this machine, and i'm under the impression that simply restarting after "make install" will initiate the new kernel ... is this incorrect?

Regards,

John
