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

Bruce

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.
