 Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 12:47 am Post subject: External Firewire drive |
 |
|
I have been pounding my head on my desk for a while now with my new
external firewire drive. I have searched the net as well as the gentoo
forums and am coming up blank... This is what I have tried:
1 - Load everything under IEEE1394 into the kernel. It did recognize
my card but I could see nothing when the drive was added.
2 - Load everything as modules. I then manually tried:
modprobe ieee1394
modprobe ohci1394
modprobe sbp2
Which gave me:
ohci1394: $Revision: 1.80 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0d.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:09.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:09.1
ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[9] MMIO=[e7107000-e7107800]
Max Packet=[2048]
ieee1394: sbp2: Driver forced to serialize I/O (serialize_io = 1)
scsi1 : IEEE-1394 SBP-2 protocol driver
Which tells me that the card is recognized... (??)
But nothing about a /dev/sda (or anything else for that matter).
I have also read about sd_mod. I tried to modprobe it, and came up
with "modprobe: Can't locate module sd_mod". Is this just the standard SCSI disk support? That I already have compiled into the kernel for my CDRW, so I know it works...
Any other ideas on what else could be wrong? |

Does anything ever show up in /proc?

What kernel are you using? I had similar problems using gentoo's kernel. I would suggest trying the vanilla kernel sources.
Some other suggestions:
- compile ieee1394, ohci1394, and sbp2 as modules
- wait five seconds or so after loading ohci1394 before loading sbp2
- you need to use sd_mod. It can either be compiled into the kernel (in which case you don't need to modprobe it) or used as a module.
good luck!

I already use the vanilla sources due to my promise card...
I think the question remains with sd_mod. Where is it and how can I make sure it is compiled into the kernel? |

Go into 'make menuconfig' Under "SCSI support --->", select 'help' for each option. Help frequently/usually mentions the module that you would need to load. Let us know what you find.

sd_mod is the module for scsi disk support. If you use menuconfig to compile your kernel, it is SCSI Disk Support under the SCSI Support menu. Select it with "m" to compile it as a module or "y" to compile is into the kernel.
I have it compiled as a module, but next time I compile my kernel, I will compile it directly into the kernel.

It is compiled into the kernel, because my CD-R drive uses it... |
