Hello, I had installed the IEEE1394 patch to my kernel-2.2.18, to make my 40G i.Link HDD (Sony PCVA-HD04 only sold in Japan) work with Linux. However, there were a few things I cannot get over it. (Sorry that it seems a basic problem with module installation but I need your help!) I used RedHat Distribution 7.0. I already removed gcc and ln -s kgcc gcc. There were two problems: 1 - One problems is module loading for ohci1394. It said that "no operable Ohci1394 cards found". This seems simply meaning that my i.Link cards built in my notebook (Sony VAIO PCG-Z505FX made in Japan) was not detected by the module. Is it a fundamental problem or is there anyone who could finally solve this problem? 2 - Another one is unpacking SBP-2 driver which I got from http://firewire.zawa.com/sbp2/ . Steps I took were: - downloaded sbp2_1394_122300.tar.gz and unpacked it - moves all file into /usr/src/linux/drivers/ieee1394 - make -f Makefile.sbp2 clean, make -f Makefile.sbp2 (generated sbp2_1394.o) - make dep, make bzlilo, make modules, make modules_install That last command (make modules_install) did not copy the sbp2_1394.o into /lib/modules/2.2.18/ieee1394. Is it OK that I move this .o file into /lib/modules/2.2.18/ieee1394 directory manually? Thanks, Katsuhiro Inoue |
