Dear developers,

I just bought myself a Firewire/IEEE1394 PCI card for my old desktop so
that I more easily share files with an IDE drive that I have in an
enclosure.

Unfortunately, I get loads of errors in my dmesg logs when I boot with
kernel 2.6.9-rc3 and I don't see the drive getting recognized.

In fact, the hotplug scripts don't even load the sbp2 module and loading it
manually has no effect at all (i.e., the drive is still not present in the
SCSI layer, it seems).

I'm attaching a dmesg log with this message. The card is a VIA card (I
forgot the model). My computer is a Duron 600MHz with an Asus A7V
motherboard (KT133 chipset) and 386MB of RAM. The drive that I have is an
IDE drive in an ADS Tech "Dual-Link Drive Kit" enclosure which works well
when I plug it on an iBook 2 running Linux (and MacOS X also).

I'm running Debian testing with the latest updates.

BTW, I also tried to plug an iPod (2nd generation) and the results I got
were the same: the drive was not detected (even if I manually loaded the
sbp2 module) and the iPod visor showed the message that it could be
disconnected (and the fact that it was charging the battery).

Is there anything that I could do to further debug/solve the problem?


Thanks in advance for any help, Rogério Brito.
