System does not install drivers. The Hardware browser sees the firewire device but the system does not install any drivers for it. This previously worked for fedora core 1. System information: Fedora Core 2 test 3 with all packages installed. CPU: Intel P4 2.8Ghz. Motherboard: Intel D865PERL Memory: 2GB PC3200 DDR-400 Video: NVIDIA Geforce 4 128MB SATA Disk 250GB I've tried both the onboard firewire and a belkin card. modprobe reports: $> modprobe ieee1394 FATAL: Module ieee1394 not found. $> modprobe ohci1394 FATAL: Module ohci1394 not found. modprobe sbp2 FATAL: Module sbp2 not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.327 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install firewire card 2. boot system 3. modprobe ohci1394 Actual Results: FATAL: Module ohci1394 not found. Expected Results: Module should have installed Additional info:
I have the same problem, but it looks as thou the kernel was built without any ieee1394 support at all making me think there is a known problem. I highly doubt this would just be 'left out' on accident. Any status on this? No ieee1394 seems to be a relatively large disability for any distro. (well, unless everybody is willing to recompile their kernels to use fedora with their firewire drives, cameras, etc...)
fixed in the current errata kernel
