Hi,

I am trying to use a dedicated film scanner on my box. I bought yesterday an adaptec AFW 4300 (wasn't easy to find but I got one for peanuts) and recompiled the kernel with ohci1394 and raw1394 as modules. Downloaded libraw1394 and installed it, run testlibraw:

The linux1394 website states that firewire works best with recent 2.4 kernels, so I tried it this way too but the scanner wouldn't work either...

Could that be something to do with slackware? The card is reported to work well in the HCL as well as the linux1394 website.

Also, lspci | grep 1394 gives me:

00:10.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link)

Texas instrument claims this chipset to be a pci lynx one, but doesn't work if I enable pcilynx instead of ohci in the kernel however.

Thanks

No idea as to what happened there but I tried to make this thing work all day without success. I even tried to install windows in a spare hdd and the install disk wouldn't start?! That was quite meaningfull though

And then I just rebooted slackware and tried testlibraw again and I got:

woohoo ^^ The damn scanner isn't being detected still ....
