3lade Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Does anyone know is the standard kernal in MDK9 has support for raw1394? I'm not really in the position to try my hand at re-compiling a kernal, not that I know what that means to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 If you have the manuals for 9.0, look in the installation section to see if firewire is discussed. If you don't have the manuals get them here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdoc.php3 . You could also pour over the kernel mailing list to see if it is discussed there. Find it here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker%40linux...x-mandrake.com/ . It starts with today's postings and works back.

Guest jay mes Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 9.0 kernel never picked up my 1394 card, but 9.1 bamboo picked it up right away on boot. i dunno if this helps but the new kernel is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pipplo Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 9.0 recognized my firewire card and my ipod so....i'm guessing that you should have it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr-Proton Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 look in /boot for the right config-* file for the default kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I'm not sure if this is what you are after but in Xconfig there is the option for Raw1394. I'm only new to this so you will probably want to check this but I think it will need a newly compiled Kernel. I do know that my firewire card has not been recognised so was going to try this myself.

aru Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Yes it is supported: Raw IEEE 1394 I/O support CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO Say Y here if you want support for the raw device. This is generally a good idea, so you should say Y here. The raw device enables direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and thus with the attached peripherals. If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module will be called raw1394.o. You might want to see if you have that module available by doing: ~# modinfo raw1394 filename: /lib/modules/2.4.19-32mdk/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.o.gz description: <none> author: <none> license: "GPL" ~# To add support for your Firewire, run: ~# modprobe raw1394 if it works, and if you want that support permantly, then edit your /etc/modules.conf HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
