Hi everybody, I'm running fc3 quite successful and am very happy with it. However, shortly after the fresh install firewire hotplugging started working, and I can't even mount my disks by hand because there is no /dev/sda<n> created. So I finally came around to look after it but without success so far, and this is what I get in my system log:
Jan 25 21:03:06 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-01:1023 Jan 25 21:03:07 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023
These messages might be harmless (at least, I'm also seeing them and firewire works mostly fine here).
Check if the sbp2 module is loaded: $ lsmod | grep sbp2
If not, load it manually (keep an eye on /var/log/messages): $ sudo modprobe sbp2
The recent kernels are very picky about module options, so if you have any set in /etc/modprobe.conf ("serialize_io=1" is very common), make sure they're spelled out correctly and without any trailing spaces.
Also, you might try experimenting with when the disk is turned on (prior to or after the system is brought up).
Hope that helps,
1) all modules are loaded, and as I said, it works --sometimes-- (rare), although I have to mount manually 2) no I have not specified any options, afaik there shouldn't be any necessary 3) at sometime this evening I'll downgrade udev, as Kyrre proposed but nonetheless, thx for your post
