I'm a bit of linux newbie, and i've been putzing with this for a couple days now, and I havent been able to figure it out. So I'm gonna throw all sorts of info out here, hopefully some of it is relevant.

I have a NEC-ND1100A DVD+RW in a IDE to firewire enclosure. I have this connected to my laptop via a Startech Cardbus IEEE1394 PCMCIA Card. I'm having a bit of trouble mounting it however.

I'm running Red Hat 9

When I check KLaptop to see if the card is being seen, the screen tells me that its a Cardbus hotpluggable device, but that there isn't a driver loaded.

So I checked modprobe -d ieee1394 and modprobe -d ohci1394 and they both present
I then checked lsmod and both were present again.

I then dug around in dmesg Here is a cut and paste of what I think the relevant output is, I saved the whole thing to a file if anyone is interested, but here's just the one section.

Seems like it should be at /dev/sr1 right? But when I tried mounting it
mount /dev/sr1 /dev/dvdr
It tells me that the special device does not exist.

Any ideas?

Thanks
