Hello, I'm new to this list. My programmer kernel knowledge is near /dev/null, but I know a "little" in C programming. Anyway I can help by testing, because I have a Pinnacle DV500 Video Edition that has a firewire controler with 3 ports (2 externals, 1 internal) on board. I've just tested kernel 2.3.99-pre5 I insmoded the core, the ohci and the raw ieee1394 modules. Everything seems ok, but as I don't know the state of the project I don't know what the driver is able to. My Fire wire peripherals are: 1 LaCie 20GB Hard drive (in fact it seems to be a 7200RPM IDE Drive with firewire controler attached to it). Maybe this controler is a firewire IDE controler... My other peripheral is: 1 Camcorder JVC DVL9600. I didn't compiled with debug (for the fists tests, but I'll do it soon). Connecting the HD gives me 1 line telling me something is ignored (but as I am under windows, i can't tell this now) Connecting the camcorder gives me some groups of messages composed of approx. 5 or 6 lines. Please can you tell me what infos I should give? /proc/ieee1394 ? dmesg? What is needed for now? Many thanks for answers. Please tell me if this is not the good mailing list (as I'm not developper, just a potential tester). Greetings, -- Olivier LAHAYE |

Hello, I have a Western Digital Fire Wire hard drive, iI would be interested in being a tester for the ieee1394 to get it running under Linux. Please reply if anyone would be interested in providing the code for it. Earl Brown |
