similar to: firewire in centos 5.4 - do i really need the centosplus kernel

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

Is it possible that the kernel in the centosplus repo is not up to date ? The centosplus kernel I have is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 and the regular one is 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5... I need the plus because of the firewire drivers. Regards,

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 :

A bit more info about my system; I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire and commented out the blacklist like so it looks like so; #blacklist firewire-ohci Running lspci returns; 10:0b.0 Firewire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 02) lsmod | grep firewire returns; firewire_sbp2 50897 0 firewire_core 79305 1 firewire_sbp2 scsi_mod

I got a WD 1TB My Book with eSATA/USB/Firewire400 connectivity to backup data on a client Centos 5.1 machine. USB 2.0 works fine out of the box but is rather slow, Nautilus predicts about 1+ hour to fully backup just one day's worth of data or about 100GB. So I was hoping Firewire would be faster, which is why we got the version with all 3 interfaces to experiment with first. Following the

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

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.

I have the problem that I almost never throw anything away that can still be useful. In itself, not bad. Combined with the "World We Live In" (TM), a "Less Than Optimal Behavior" (SM). I need some of the features in CentOSPlus kernels for my 586 (K6-III). 1) I don't mind doing it myself and contributing results, if that's what it takes. Only having LFS experience (rpm

Hi everybody, I am a CentOS newbie, and I want to know whether the recent centosplus kernel supports read and write ntfs file systems or not. Regards Xin

On CentOS 5, the current centosplus kernel doesn't want to play with the kmod-gfs package (because kmod-gfs wants the stock kernel): # yum install kmod-gfs gives me: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5) is already installed Should it work, or is there a separate centosplus build that I've not

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

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

Hi all, I am migrating my Xen guests over to KVM. Does any one know were I can find said 5.1 kernel for download? - aurf

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

I have been using kernel from centosplus for a few months. It quite stable and have support for my TV card and ntfs partitions. However, after the last yum update, kernel 2.6.9-34 from the update repo has been installed with all other updated packages. In fact, i still have kernel 2.6.9-22.106.unsupport on my system but whenever i use this kernel, the cupsd can not start. Can anyone tell me
