CentOS 4 and firewire , ieee1394 , Sony FXA-47


On my Sony FXA-47 with after-market SCSI PCMCIA card, I ran my external firewire drives just fine under CentOS 3.4, but now I can't get firewire to working in CentOS 4...

When I run my modified rescan-scsi-bus.sh (Kurt Garloff, garloff dot de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh), I get an "Error: SCSI subsystem not active" message.

the following command brings up no results...
# modprobe -l |grep 1394

If I do "lspci -v", I see
06:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 46) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller
Flags: stepping, medium devsel, IRQ 10
Memory at 21000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=2K]
I/O ports at 4800 [disabled] [size=128]
Memory at 21000800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=256]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

CentOS download mirrors...
centos dot org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13

I can't find any kernel-unsupported-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL file at the ftp site --> linux dot ncsu dot edu...
/pub/centos/4.0/updates/i386/RPMS/
nor
/pub/centos/4.0/extras/i386/RPMS/
nor
/pub/centos/4.0/addons/i386/RPMS/

I'm continuing to research by googling "2.6 kernel" +"SCSI subsystem" and
"2.6 kernel" +firewire

any ideas?
thanks, Daniel

There is a new kernel in the centosplus repo that has firewire support.
