Found one article on the internet and tried it: In /etc/modules.conf added the following lines: pre-install ohci1394 modprobe ieee1394 pre-install sbp2 modprobe ohci1394 Then in the /etc/init.d/boot.local file I added: insmod sbp2 After rebooting, still get invalid block device error. If I try insmod on all of the modules, it says they are already installed. Just another puzzle.

When I do fdisk -1 after boot, the firewire drive is not there. If I do not have these line in the boot.local file, then I can enter the insmod commands shown above, and then I can see the firewire drive. It also does not work if I use modprobe. Could any explain why this does not work and a solution for it? I did not try the modules.conf file as it was far too complex for a non-programmer like me.

On previous thread I said the firwire harddrive problem was solved. It was until I rebooted. How can I get the insmod ochi1394 and insmod ieee1394 to hold permanently? I am rather new to Linux and still learning.
You could probably put a line or two in /etc/modules.conf, but the simplest solution is to put the insmod lines in /etc/init.d/boot.local. That gets run as the very first thing on bootup. regards Anders -- `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.' -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com
