I have a firewire IEEE1394 drive that I have used from RedHate and Mandrake. The card is not on the mobo (not sure if yours is). When I have installed linux nothing at all comes up for ieee1394, meaning nothing is installed.

However, the related modules for ieee1394 are part of the linux kernel 2.4.? and above. All you have to do is load them after boot (they can be scripted into the boot process as well). For me it works like this (regardless of distro):

modprobe ochi1394
modprobe sbp2

mount /dev/sda1 /firewire

The firewire card is "sda1" but may not be the same on your system depending on what hardware you have. A good way to check is with the following command:

dmesg | grep 1394

If something comes up it means the module loaded ok. Look for references to "sd" something.

Note also that I have never had this work right if the modules are part of the kernel. They always had to be loaded separately. Possibly you could remove the ieee1394 card during installation. If the interface is on the mobo I am not sure what to tell you.

One more thing: the log delay may be that the installer is trying to contact a busy download site (probably RH's) to get the driver. This might be the case if you have specified all the network stuff before the ieee1394 part.

Hope this helps...

no.. i couldn't understand it, i can't do anything because is just stopped in the beginning process of the installation of RED HAT 8 on my laptop computer. I have Taxas Instrument ohci IEEE 1394 built-in device.

I need to know, what option could allow me to skip the searching process to this device or how can i use it properly to install this OS..

I already tried it for Red Hat 8 and Mandrak 9 as well.. but both OS stuck at the same point in the beginning of Installation.

Please I need help from the experience developers...

thanks
Obaid.

Sorry I couldn't help you out. Have you tried talking to the people that did the actual programming for the linux firewire project? Here is their link (this is where I learned how to get mine running):

http://www.linux1394.org/

You might also try contacting RedHat. In either case, make sure to provide as much detail as you can. In your case, provide as much hardware detail as possible. I am sure Windows XP has some sort of hardware info on your firewire stuff. Write all that info down an provide it if you can find someone to help you out.

Also, I do recall that once installed there was a separate module that was specifically for Texas Instruments. I don't recall what it was but I recall seeing description for Texas Instruments within the IEEE1394 part of the Linux kernel configurator. I know that this won't help you now, but it does help to know that some sort of TI module exists...

As a last ditch effort, how long to you wait when it does "hang"? On occassions where I have installed RedHat and Mandrake, the installer had to retrieve some security updates during install. The delay was in the order of 50 minutes. The installer doesn't really update you that it's waiting to log into an FTP site to get something, instead it just appears dead until it gets what it needs and continues on...

Good luck.
