I've got a PB G3 Firewire, with kernel 2.4.21-powerpc, and a Lacie CD burner attached to my firewire port.
Here's what dmesg says when I plug the drive in: ieee1394: Node 00:1023 changed to 01:1023 ieee1394: Node 01:1023 changed to 00:1023 ieee1394: Node 00:1023 has non-standard ROM format (0 quads), cannot parse ieee1394: Node 00:1023 changed to 01:1023 ieee1394: Node 01:1023 changed to 00:1023 ieee1394: sbp2: Node 01:1023: Using 36byte inquiry workaround ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device ieee1394: sbp2: Node[01:1023]: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048] ieee1394: NodeMgr: hotplug policy returned -2 ieee1394: Device added: Node[01:1023] GUID[00d04b2111070b30] [LaCie Group SA ] To double check everything, I do a: sudo rmmod sbp2 sudo modprobe sbp2 sudo cdrecord -scanbus The problem I'm having is that cdrecord won't recognize it: Cdrecord 2.01a16 (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling cdrecord.mmap: No such file or directory.

Can anyone direct me as to how I can get this working again, so I can make backups? Thanks!
