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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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 ??
