BootX extension freezes MacOS

Hi! I run LinuxPPC R5 on my 7300/166, MacOS 8.1, BootX 1.1.1 with 2 scsi disks which have partitions as follows: Disk id #6: MacOS "root" (HFS), Linux root, Linux swap Disk id #0: MacOS "data" (HFS+), Linux home (marked as HFS for mountx), Linux usr When I disable the BootX extension, everything works fine. I can start Linux from the BootX app, and if I enable mountx, I see my home partition on the MacOS desktop (with mountx disabled, MacOS suggests to format the home partition). With the BootX extension, I was able to boot Linux, but selecting MacOS, the system freezes when building the desktop. This happens with and without mountx enabled. Just as a test, I removed the disk #0 from the scsi chain --- and now everything works fine with the extension! Did I miss something important in the setup, or is BootX somewhat broken if there is a HFS+ partition which is not the MacOS "root"? Thanks for your help, Albrecht. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dr.-Ing.
