Hello everyone, I've followed this thread exactly as it states and can't seem to get things working. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg06925.html I have a Panasonic PV-GS15 MiniDV camcorder and have a Firewire PCMCIA card 0b:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): NEC Corporation uPD72874 IEEE1394 OHCI 1.1 3-port PHY-Link Ctrlr (rev 01) I've checked at linux1394.org and it is supported. I'm trying to mount an external harddrive via Firewire (it's in a USB 2.0/Firewire enclosure). I'm running FC3 with kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3. My /etc/modprobe.conf look like: alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 orinoco_cs alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller uhci-hcd alias net-pf-10 off alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 I've got this in my /etc/rc.local file: /dev/MAKEDEV raw1394 mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394 c 171 32 /sbin/modprobe ieee1394 /sbin/modprobe ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe video1394 /sbin/modprobe raw1394 dv1394 This shows up on bootup in my /var/log/messages file on boot: Apr 21 21:50:07 localhost kernel: video1394: Installed video1394 module Apr 21 21:50:07 localhost kernel: ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized This shows up in /var/log/dmesg on boot: ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394' ohci1394: $Rev: 1223 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@xxxxxxxxxx> PCI: Enabling device 0000:0b:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) ohci1394: fw-host0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000! ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[11] MMIO=[11800000-118007ff] Max Packet=[2048] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00004c013000059a] /sbin/lsmod shows: Module Size Used by dv1394 26765 0 sbp2 25289 0 scsi_mod 139817 1 sbp2 vfat 13505 0 fat 43229 1 vfat raw1394 41261 0 video1394 20109 0 parport_pc 28421 1 lp 12489 0 parport 40201 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 26181 0 i2c_dev 11201 0 i2c_core 21953 1 i2c_dev sunrpc 164485 1 ohci1394 39129 2 dv1394,video1394 ieee1394 309145 5 dv1394,sbp2,raw1394,video1394,ohci1394 yenta_socket 21065 5 rsrc_nonstatic 10433 1 yenta_socket uhci_hcd 33497 0 hw_random 6101 0 snd_intel8x0m 18565 2 snd_intel8x0 34049 2 snd_ac97_codec 71097 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 51953 0 snd_mixer_oss 18241 3 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 99657 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 33093 1 snd_pcm snd 56741 11 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10785 3 snd snd_page_alloc 9669 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm orinoco_cs 10057 1 pcmcia 26465 7 orinoco_cs orinoco 53837 1 orinoco_cs hermes 8513 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco pcmcia_core 47993 4 yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic,orinoco_cs,pcmcia e100 46401 0 mii 4929 1 e100 floppy 64753 0 dm_snapshot 17669 0 dm_zero 2497 0 dm_mirror 25773 0 ext3 131145 2 jbd 82777 1 ext3 dm_mod 59221 6 dm_snapshot,dm_zero,dm_mirror First, I'm not sure if everything is loading properly. Second, I'm not sure of the order of modprobe statements in /etc/rc.local as I've pieced them together from several places. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! -- Kevin Old kevinold@xxxxxxxxx
