Mounting Amiga FFS under Linux needs a module called affs.

This module is part of the standard 2.6-three (kernel). Which means that this is the same in all Linux distributions. The question is if the kernel is compiled with affs as a module or if it isn't (it is certainly not compiled in as non-module, cause then it would have worked from the start).

Try this:
1. su - (and enter root password)
2. modprobe affs (if this fails then the amiga affs module is
not part of your kernel).
3. mkdir /mnt/amiga
4 mount -t affs /dev/hdax /mnt/amiga (replace x with the device number of the amiga h).

Does it work?

If the module isn't part of your kernel then you'll have to compile it in yourself.

Guide for compiling kernel on Fedora: http://cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0010.html

This is for Fedora Core 3 (old) but it should be the same. Just replace the kernel-archive with the newest.
