Hi all! I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not getting very far, so advice would be appreciated. When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0003f300118123f9, S100

Helo, I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support. But when y do a : # yum update The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro I have tried with the http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it didn't take the right kernel :

Hi..... I just bought a External HD with USB/FireWire interfaces. I was trying to connect it by firewire and nothing happened, but it's connected by USB, there is no problem. This is the "fdisk - l" output when i connect it by USB Disco /dev/sdc: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 19457 cilindros Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I read in another forum that CentOS has problems with Firewire drives, something along the lines of whenever a new kernel is booted, the drives are gone. Can anyone elaborate on that? I don't use Firewire drives (at all, yet), but information about this would be nice to have.... Thanks. mhr

I am being given a digital camcorder. It uses Mini DV tapes and either connects via typical RCA cables (IE to a tv) or via FireWire. I don't have the brand on hand, but I was told it can be ripped to DV like any standard FireWire camcorder (I believe dvgrab will be sufficient). I just installed an older FireWire card I have that I used at one point in Fedora for my iPod. It was a PITA

Hi folks: Firewire was not supported in 4.0 due to the upstream provider not including it. Is it in 4.1? Or is it still out of the mainline upstream kernel provider? What about centosplus? Centosplus has been listed as unsupported. I presume this means that they are/were one-off builds with missing functionality (e.g. xfs, etc), and are not updated. Is this the case? I am looking

I just recently downloaded and installed the CentOS 3.3 release, and I'm having a bit of a problem... It appears that no support for firewire drives has been included. I am unable to find the ohci1394 or sbp2 modules anywhere. Are there other packages which must be installed from the distribution to get firewire devices to be recognized? Thanks. --Steve

Hi all, CentOS noob trying v5 for the first time -- What's the best way to get firewire modules onboard? Build a custom kernel? I'm not seeing any cent5 compatible module-rpms for this. Any general pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello, Having a problem getting Centos to see my firewire connected camcorder.

Hi! After switching from UMS (dated 20090701+c0bf670) to KMS (as of 2010-02-01), almost any X activity causes buffer underruns on my firewire soundcard. When the X pointer changes from arrow to the vertical text selection bar, firewire streaming is interrupted. Same with scrolling in firefox or hovering over a link, thus changing the pointer to "hand". Looks like nouveau is disabling

Assuming I have a firewire card with a supported chipset, is there anything special I need to do in order for the kernel to recognize the card? Shouldn't kudzu "wake up" and configure the card when I boot up after installing it? This is a brand spanking new 4.4 system and a supported Agere chipset firewire card. I'm having trouble tickling devices connected to the card.

Message I recieved from a work colleage.... Wonder if anyone can help the guy? --------FORWARDED MESSAGE---------------------- I finally ditched my freebsd and put centos on my box. Trouble is I can''t figure out how to get it to automount my USB and firewire (ipod) bits. Any ideas? Googling has left me a bit frustrated. No one seems to be able to do it. I have a /etc/fstab that

Hello, looking into the issue described in the advisory below I wonder how to tackle this issues. Primarily I ask myself * is there any reason not to filter all physical memory access by default * what would be the appropriate way to change the filter set? a sysctl?

I'm currently looking at how to deal with the lack of usable MACs in Infiniba(n)d and Firewire. Instead of presenting the MAC address when querying for the config file, these guys need either the Client Identifier, or the PC UUID. The Client Identifier is a fairly opaque object which tends to include various fixed portions; the PC UUID is far to often not at all or incorrectly programmed.

When I play video-a1v7x352y240.ogg, some of the artifacts I noticed in the firewire captured video.dv are no longer there. The *.dv video is sharper, but the *.ogg video, at 1/16th the size,

Hi all, Space is starting to get a bit tight here, so I''m looking at adding a couple of TB to my home server. I''m considering external USB or FireWire attached drive enclosures. Cost is a real issue, but I also want the data to be managed by ZFS--so enclosures without a JBOD option have been disgarded (i.e., I don''t want to use any internal HW RAID controllers). One

Is this possible? I want an external case with 4 HD in, each having an individual eSata cable. I plug in this case only when needed (each HD plugs into my PC separately), and do something like ">import ZFS pool" and use my ZFS raid. When done, I unplug it with ">export ZFS pool" or something similar command. This way I save energy, less noise, etc. I want it only as a
