No raw1394 module anymore?
I recently reinstalled Debian on my laptop, and got a new kernel (2.6.24) in the process. Unfortunately I'm having trouble getting firewire to work. Isn't the raw1394 kernel module available anymore?

I have the same problem with kernel 2.6.25 on a recent Debian install. The world will be denied my talented video making skills!
I have some time to look into this now and will post if I find a solution. |
No problems here with kubuntu 8.04:
Code:
root@vaio:~# uname -a |
no problems with the thing showing up in modprobe with Dynebolic either. i dont have a camera though, so I cant test the full thing. try Dynebolic, it should be good for you.

If your kernel doesn't have
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.ko module, then the kernel was built without the module, and you will need to rebuild it. |
Having looked into it yesterday is seems that the relevant module isn't part of the standard Debian kernel as it undergoes a transition to a new system. See here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438336 This bug report is 1 year old but this one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449272 Runs until June this year. It makes entertaining reading, there are some very grumpy people out there. It looks like there are the following choices: 1. Wait until Lenny becomes the stable release 2. Roll your own kernel with ieee1394 support enabled 3. Buy a Mac Not decided what I want to do yet, I don't think I have the energy to roll my own kernel, the money to buy a mac or the patience to wait. Will see if there is a workaround. Regards |
The link you posted has another possible solution:
Quote:
If you download your kernel source and run "make oldconfig", you will recreate a .config file with the same settings as your stock kernel. Then enable "CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m" in "make xconfig". Using "make oldconfig" should make it easier to make a small incremental change to the kernel configuration. |
Whilst I have no solution I do have a work round.
Simply run a live distro (in this case Ubuntu) and get the DV onto your hard drive, you can then work on the files in the normal way. Rough, but ready |
Firewire IEEE1394 problem
Quote:
I had the same problem. Firewire worked in Win2k and older Linux distros but not with new 2.6.27-1 kernel. After much messing about I discovered that it could be fixed by adding acpi=force to the boot options line in /boot/grub/menu.lst I had already changed the permissions on /dev/raw1394 and added myself to the disk and video groups! Hope this helps. (Kino, Mepis 8, Firewire card with Canon XM2 dv camera) |
no raw1394 module? SOLVED
And another: Maybe this was answered but: Trying to load raw1394 to run Kino: In Ubu 9.04: 'sudo MAKEDEV raw1394'. Check /dev dir.
Worked for me after much frustration. zenofronia Quote:

Hi All,
I was having the same problem with Kino in Fedora 12, and found this post most helpful, but, the solution for me was to do the following: I ran the device manager under System Tools, and discovered that the canon zr850 I had plugged in was showing up under /dev/fw1. I then created a symlink from /dev/fw1 to /dev/raw1394: sudo ls -n /dev/fw1 /dev/raw1394 I also had to change the privileges on /dev/fw1: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/fw1 I was then able to select the camera from the preferences pulldown. It's all working. I'll problably have to do more to make it work after a reboot. I haven't explored that. Hope this was helpful to somebody... Take care. |
I have exactly the same problem using Ubuntu 9.10. When I run Kino, I get the message "raw1394 kernel not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!". I have not managed to solve this as yet. Anyone have any suggestions please? My camcorder is a Sharp Viewcam Z vl z300. I cannot get KDENLIVE to connect to my camera either.
Thank you in advance |
