<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Firewire-users] Linux can see
the firewire card but cannot see the drive</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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.
<P><B>I am not in this list. Please reply to me directly.</B> <BR>
