Paul,
I have been having problems since the 0.8.x series with "unresolved symbols in side the module" (or whatever the error message is) when I do a depmod -a to finish the installation!
Have you had a similar problem?? It was working fine up until the new 0.8.x versions.

Some people are still having compilation problems with hfs_fs 0.8.3, especially Mklinux users and users of newer kernel releases. The HFS for Linux Page http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/ now has a 09Apr97 development snapshot available. It should fix the compilation problems as well as being more robust when encountering corrupt volumes.
If a few people could try it out (especially anyone who has had compilation problems with 0.8.x for x >= 2) I'd appreciate hearing about your success or failure.
If the snapshot release fixes all the compilation problems and no bugs are reported in 0.8.3 then I'll release it as 0.8.4 in a few days.

One possible explanation is the MODVERSONS compile problem, which is (I think) finally fixed in the new snapshot. I thought I had fixed it in 0.8.3, but all I did was break it for a slightly different set of configurations.
The other possibility that comes to mind is that your kernel source tree (especially /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h which is generated by "make config") might not correspond to the currently running kernel.
If neither of these seems to be the problem, then try "depmod -a -e" which should list the unresolved symbols and send me the output along witht the output of the BUG_INFO script from the hfs_fs source directory.
