The adaptec driver is no longer supported, so you may have difficulty get answers on that. Some users have reported some success getting the Miro and DPS-based versions of those cards working. Can you try a nice, cheap OHCI compliant card like the Pyro or SIIG? In your initial testing, please avoid a Panasonic camera. Most linux 1394 applications are having difficulty with them due to some timing and error handling issues that are just now being addressed. Also, have you tried disabling Plug-n-Play? +-DRD-+ "John P." wrote: > > Hello and thank you for all your hard work. > > I have been trying to patch 2.2.16 kernels for two days now and have had > little success with the 2000-06-16 patch. > > Using the 2.2.216-9mdk release my Adaptec 8945 is never found and has build > errors due to the source being only i386. > > On the 2.2.16 from kernel.org, I still don't find the card although the > compile goes fine.
