[Firewire-devel] Re: [Firewire-users] Linux can see the firewire card but cannot see the drive

[Bruce Carter]

OK what does it say in /var/log/messages

What does rescan-scsi-bus.sh say,.
Have you got the latest version of the firewire kernel for 3.0 deployed.

Also if you boot with a USB device attached you will never see the Firewire drive.

For instance I accidentally left my USB memory stick plugged in and there was no way the system would recognise the drive.

Experience from RedHat 2.1

  Subject: [Firewire-users] Linux can see the firewire card but cannot see the drive


  I have bought a firewire USB combo chassis and put a 20G IDE drive in 
  it. I bought a firewire host adapter (TI chip set) and a 6 pin to 6 pin 
  cable and connected the chassis to a Dell 400SC server. I installed 
  Linux Advanced Server 3.0. Linux can see the firewire card but cannot 
  see the disk. 
  If I connected the chassis to USB connection, Linux can see the disk as 
  /dev/sda. This proves the hard drive works. When connected to one of the 
  two firewire ports on the same chassis, the OS can't see the disk. 

  I haven't even attached the second node nor installed the Oracle 
  provided patch from OTN yet. Is this simply a connectivity issue? I need 
  help form somebody familiar with Linux and firewire. 

  I am not in this list. Please reply to me directly.
