Dear listers, This is just a note. I tried to use ieee1394 cameras with gnomemeeting(GM) on suse 9.1, both i386 and amd64. It does not work properly. The following is a part of dmesg: video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 ohci1394: fw-host0: Unrecoverable error! ohci1394: fw-host0: Iso Recv 0 Context died: ctrl[8000884e] cmdptr[028db260] match[f0000100] video1394_0: On release: Iso receive context 0 stop listening on channel 0 mask: 0000000000000001 usage: 0000000000000000 video1394_0: Iso receive DMA: 4 buffers of size 155648 allocated for a frame size 153600, each with 39 prgs video1394_0: iso context 0 listen on channel 0 video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 video1394_0: Iso context 0 stop talking on channel 0 mask: 0000000000000001 usage: 0000000000000000 video1394_0: Iso receive DMA: 4 buffers of size 155648 allocated for a frame size 153600, each with 39 prgs video1394_0: iso context 0 listen on channel 0 video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 video1394_0: Waking up iso dma ctx=0 ohci1394: fw-host0: Unrecoverable error! ohci1394: fw-host0: Iso Recv 0 Context died: ctrl[8000884e] cmdptr[0d8ce260] match[f0000100] (Some repeated messages are removed.) The same sympthom can be observed if kernel is updated to recent one, on both SuSE 9.0 and 9.1, i386 and amd64. The stock kernel on 9.0DVD worked, if my memory is correct, at least for i386. I wonder if somebody is using firewire tools, such as external hardisk units, on kernel 2.6. Thanks for your attention. yoriaki fujimori
