Firewire camera problems


Hi all

I'm trying to capure some video with kino from my video camera but I get an error message saying that /dev/raw1394 doesn't exist. I've loaded the following modules with no luck:
ohci1394
raw1394
dv1394
ieee1394
video1394

my firewire card is PCMCIA. Do i need to load a module in order to use my firewire PCMCIA?

Here is the output of lmod

and here is the output of cardctl -status

I'm really lost here. I've tried to run the script /etc/pcmcia/ieee1394 but I can't figure out how to use it and I can't seem to find any documentation for it.

Any suggestions in ho I can get my camera to work? Probably is easier than I think...

Thanks

Hi,

I guess you're using a 2.6.x kernel - I and many others were having the same problem.

Have you tried manually creating /dev/raw1394 ? (as root)
mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171 0

HTH

HI, Have you installed the "udev" update with urpmi?

This is a quote from the mandrake site;

" A problem in udev existed where a user would not be able to use a firewire camera because the required device was never created. This update forces udev to pre-create the device allowing the use of firewire cameras. "

I am using kino and firewire with a panasonic camera and have had no problems,

Hope this helps
