Hey there!

I have a firewire hard drive which I have previously used with Gentoo. However, after a recent reinstall, I cannot access the drive anymore.

Here is the related dmsg output:

Code: Select all

ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized

sbp2: $Rev: 1219 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>

Note that there is no further report from sbp2. Nothing happens.

I'm using kernel 2.6.7-mm1.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y

Dont know what to do anymore

The firewire hard drive contains the backup of my previous gentoo installation. I *need* that data

.

Thanks for your help...

I'm sure this isn't the problem, but did you load the SBP2 module? Also did you check /proc/scsi/scsi?

wget http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh
chmod +x rescan-scsi-bus.sh
./rescan-scsi-bus.sh

et voilà...

/usr/src/linux/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.c :

* The easiest way to add/detect new SBP-2 devices is to run the shell script
* rescan-scsi-bus.sh. This script may be found at:

Yes, as you can see from the DMESG line, sbp2 is loaded, but doesn't produce any further output. /proc/scsi/scsi shows now devices.

cylgalad:
Tried that. No devices found.

Also tried the "add-single-device" trick some suggested without succsess.

Update:
Tried every kernel back down to 2.6.3.
2.6.3 works fine, everything above that does not.

Cheers,
André

I have the same problem described here using 2.6.7-gentoo (perhaps previous kernels as well) I dislike the idea of having to downgrade kernels however and am interested in finding out why this is happening. I'll investigate bugzilla etc. and report back, but if anybody has any ideas as to where to look or what mightr be causing this problem I'd be appreciative. The drive I'm trying to mount happens to be an Ipod and I am sure that I had it working with some of the earlier versions of the 2.6 series. Another reason I don't wish to downgrade is my digital camera which didn't work with previous versions of 2.6 works with 2.6.7
