Re: firewire on b&w g3
Hey Matt,
I've been using 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 from a kernel.org mirror to be able to
use my external firewire drive. I'm not sure of the fundamental diffs,
between them, but I think you want the OHCI, instead of the PCILynx 1394
driver. I'm not sure, but I seem to have a dim memory about Apple's 1394
implementation being OHCI-based. On my 8500 with a PCI card using a TI
firewire chipset, the firewire modules laoded are:
kaiso:~ 8:29:43 1% cat /proc/modules
video1394 13316 0 (unused)
sbp2 17168 0 (unused)
raw1394 20700 0 (unused)
ohci1394 28336 0 [video1394]
ieee1394 47104 0 [video1394 sbp2 raw1394 ohci1394]
The video1394 isn't needed, and I don't think the raw1394 is necessary
either. But I don't have a PCILynx module.
