cannot see /dev/raw1394 [SOLVED]

[shazam75]

Hi All

Just installed a fresh gentoo and I cannot seem to get my /dev/raw1394 come up.

dmesg says:

Code: Select all

    0.590498] firewire_ohci 0000:04:07.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23
[    0.641069] firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0000:04:07.0, OHCI v1.10, 4 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x2
[    1.142093] firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 00df0b8600001d7d, S400
[    2.664561] firewire_net: firewire0: IPv4 over FireWire on device 00df0b8600001d7d
[    2.664569] firewire_core: refreshed device fw0

so it looks like it is recognised. Also I have enabled all the firewire features in the kernel as built in.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Solved! Using the OHCI Built into the kernel and therefore no need to do a chmod 777 /dev/raw1394 anymore! Simpy issue the command

Code: Select all

PS I am using kernel 2.6.38-gentoo-r6 .

Cheers!
