gscanbus: unknown device ... whats wrong?

[Michael B. <mic...@st...>]

hallo everybody

my digital camera (sony DFW-VL500) is unknown to gscanbus. with dvgrab i get 
no file ...
is this a driver problem or is the camera not supported?
i can't see where exactly the problem is... please help



i followed the installation instructions for 1394 on the sourceforge 
homepage. now i hav a suse 7.0 system with a patched 2.2.17 kernel and the 
modules for firewire support. after modprobe the pcilynx and raw1394 module 
(without any errormessage) i get the following output

bash-2.04# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
raw1394                 6584   0  (unused)
pcilynx                10876   0  (unused)
ieee1394               19432   0  [raw1394 pcilynx]

lockd                  32136   1  (autoclean) [nfsd]
sunrpc                 53956   1  (autoclean) [nfsd lockd]
nls_cp437               3904   4  (autoclean)
vfat                    9308   2  (autoclean)
fat                    29888   2  (autoclean) [vfat]

so everything seems to be ok?
then i start gscanbus (version 0.6) without a firewire device connected.

bash-2.04# ./gscanbus
successfully got handle
current generation number: 1
using first card found: 1 nodes on bus, local ID is 0

then i connect my digital camera (sony DFW-VL500, more info at 
http://www.sony.de/professional/kamera/produkte/dfw_v500.html )
and get the following errormessages from gscanbus

Bus reset - current generation number: 2
1/0x0000fffff0000404: read failed
1/0x0000fffff0000404: wrong magic quadlet
... repeated several times

then i disconnect the camera and get the following output

Bus reset - current generation number: 3                                      
                     

if connected gscanbus names the camera an unknown device with the following
