I'd be willing to bet it needs the recent fixes I sent to Dave Miller for the newer OBP's. There's no kernel images with that fix yet, but one is coming soon. The v210 is a IIIi cpu, and it requires a newer PCI controller driver that Dave has been working on lately. Maybe we'll get it working soon. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/
