sorry for the previous html mail, Note -- this was a 2.6.10 kernel I am getting kernel panic when ohci1394 loads. How can I disable it via recovery command line. As history, I was playing with Kino yesterday and did a few things to get video export back to the handicam to work. It worked but on reboot, apperantly I did something wrong. I tried adding scsi-hostadapter sbp2 to modules.conf but to no avail. *actually using an underscore between scsi and hostadapter but cant find it on this layout now. That is the only solution I could find on google and that was for an earlier kernel There was another entry that needed to be there but already was. basically the only thing I remember changing was running mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394 c 171 32 as shown at http://www.linux1394.org/dv1394.php which actually wasn&t why kino export wasnt working. I just needed to modify Kino's Preferences/IEEE 1394/DV Export/dv1394 device field anyway, I deleted /dev/dv139but that didn&t help either Shawn
