[Firewire-users] Firewire-users Digest, Vol 26, Issue 1

[Nga Nguyen]

Hi Billy,

Sorry for a late reply, I was offsite.
I did unplug server1 from the firewire drive, plug in server2 only and boot
server2 now passes modprobe sbp2 but not firewire and nothing successfully.
Please read a information output of lsmod
lsmod|egrep "ohci1394|sbp2|sd_mod|ieee1394"
sbp2                   23048  0
ohci1394               32964  0
ieee1394               83252  2 sbp2,ohci1394
sd_mod                 24897  0
scsi_mod              132685  3 sbp2,libata,sd_mod

Thanks and appreciated for your help
Nga Nguyen
