ieee1394 some problems.

[Eric Deveaud <edeveaud@pasteur.fr>]

	Hi,
for the little introduction story.

I'm trying to validate the use of an external firewire harddrive, for
one of our scientist here in pasteur.

I ask me if it could plug and use his external 30Gb Lacie firewire
drive on his PB-G4 under linux.

I've tell him, let me try on my PB-G3 before formating your powerbook.


Know the problem.

I've grabed the last Ben's Kernel sources, compiled the fresh kernel
building ieee1394, ohci1394, sbp2 (and related i2c bit-padding
interface) as modules.
installed everything, rebooted

everything went OK
yoko:~ > uname -a
Linux yoko 2.4.20-pre9-ben0 #1 Wed Oct 9 13:25:33 CEST 2002 ppc unknown

plugged the disk

added ohci1394
and ther is what I got
yoko:~ > sudo modprobe ohci1394
ohci1394: $Rev: 555 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
ohci1394_0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000!
ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[40]  MMIO=[f5000000-f5000800]  Max
Packet=[2048]
yoko:~ > ieee1394: Node 00:1023 has non-standard ROM format (0 quads),
cannot parse

lsmod gives me
yoko:~ > lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
ohci1394               20036   0 (unused)
ieee1394               35608   0 [sbp2 ohci1394]

when I try to load sbp2, the shell stay stucked whith the following
message

yoko:~ > sudo modprobe sbp2
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device


Humm I guess I miss something but while RTFMing I did see what

what's the buggy point in my howto understanding ??


	Eric
