BootX extension freezes MacOS

[Albrecht Dreß]

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.
