Re: Firewire support in RHEL

Hello

I installed the kernel-unsupported which has support for Firewire but I 
still can't access my external hard drive that is connected to the machine 
through a firewire port. If I use the hardware browser, the firewire seems 
to be detected (via technologies) as well as the external hard drive 
(iomega 120 Gb). But I cannot access the drive. In RedHat 7.3 this worked 
fine, when I plugged in the hard drive, there was a message that /dev/sdb 
was found.

Any ideas?

below some log information
