santner Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 New computer, trying to get dvgrab to work. The modules I have loaded are: lsmod | grep 1394 raw1394 24492 0 dv1394 17196 0 eth1394 17000 0 ohci1394 30788 1 dv1394 ieee1394 292056 4 raw1394,dv1394,eth1394,ohci1394 However when I try to run dvgrab I get: raw1394 - failed to get handle: No such file or directory. I believe that on my old system I had: /dev/raw1394 but I no longer have that since I upgraded to Mandrake 10.1 Community. Any ideas? :o :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 there was another very recent post with the same issue yesterday; udev ain't creating the device when it should. The poster in that thread found a way around it; I think he created the device manually with an mknod command. You'd have to do that every time you booted, though.

santner Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Found the answer for anyone interested: mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveQB Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ok this is not working for me at all. The first time i hooked up my Camcorder and modprobed the appropriate devices it worked in Kino no problems. This was over 12mths ago and it has never worked since :( I have started up my quest to get my camera working again. I followed these 2 pages http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/video_camera.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133798 But no go for me. root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# lspci | grep FireWire 00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): nVidia Corporation nForce2 FireWire (IEEE 1394) Controller (rev a3) Here's my 1394 modules at default [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# lsmod | grep 1394 ohci1394 30788 0 ieee1394 292056 1 ohci1394 I then issue a modprobe dv1394 [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# modprobe dv1394 [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# lsmod | grep 1394 dv1394 17196 0 ohci1394 30788 1 dv1394 ieee1394 292056 2 dv1394,ohci1394 And then ...... [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# modprobe raw1394 [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# lsmod | grep 1394 raw1394 24492 0 dv1394 17196 0 ohci1394 30788 1 dv1394 ieee1394 292056 3 raw1394,dv1394,ohci1394 Kino still reports nothing, even when launched as root. So then .... [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# ll /dev/ra radio ram10 ram14 ram4 ram8 radio0 ram11 ram15 ram5 ram9 ram0 ram12 ram2 ram6 random ram1 ram13 ram3 ram7 So then i give this a try [root@xpbeast linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk]# mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0 Still no cigar. :( This is curious in my /var/log/messages Jan 9 19:48:35 xpbeast rc.sysinit: Initializing firewire controller (ohci1394): succe eded Jan 9 19:48:35 xpbeast ieee1394.agent[1403]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x/0x /0x Jan 9 19:48:36 xpbeast ieee1394.agent[1599]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x/0x /0x Jan 9 19:48:36 xpbeast ieee1394.agent[1590]: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x/0x It was suggested to me to do run ' mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0 ' then ' copy -rp /dev/raw1394 /etc/udev/devices/raw1394 ' copying is required so it will always be restored on bootup. But this results in [root@xpbeast WildCard]# cp -rp /dev/raw1394 /etc/udev/devices/raw1394 cp: cannot create special file `/etc/udev/devices/raw1394': No such file or directory Any ideas guys ????? pleaseeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
