I have bought a firewire USB combo chassis and put a 20G IDE drive in
<br>it. I bought a firewire host adapter (TI chip set) and a 6 pin to 6
pin
<br>cable and connected the chassis to a Dell 400SC server. I installed
<br>Linux Advanced Server 3.0. Linux can see the firewire card but cannot
<br>see the disk.
<p>If I connected the chassis to USB connection, Linux can see the disk
as
<br>/dev/sda. This proves the hard drive works. When connected to one of
the
<br>two firewire ports on the same chassis, the OS can't see the disk.
<p>I haven't even attached the second node nor installed the Oracle
<br>provided patch from OTN yet. Is this simply a connectivity issue? I
need
<br>help form somebody familiar with Linux and firewire.
