Thanks Ann for the response. My firewire card is detected too and the
firewire modules are all loaded (as far as i can say so after i did a
Google search on this). When i attach a firewire hard drive, i think it
is also even detected because i see a new device under unknown devices.
That´s it! Mandrake does not define it as a new hard drive! It is not
seen then! I did a google search and found out later that i am having
the very same error that some others have had with this Belkin card, and
those people were hackers, geeks who happen to mention the problem but
they do not give any solution for it! So i guess, i can´t find any
solution for the problem.
So i think seeing the firewire and loading the modules does not mean
it will work!! It really has to be checked with real firewire device.
I will write here the error i get soon, maybe somebody here knows how to
solve the problem though this is not my main problem as i can connect
this hard drive via USB when i am in Linux. The important thing is that
i want my video capturing device work under Linux. I know that this
device works under Linux since it is a hardware capturing device not
software and people have used it under Linux without any problem.
Regards, Ramin
What messages show up in the log when you plug in the drive? It could be
that the drive is detected, but is not getting auto-mounted. I am not
sure how well the auto-mount code in HAL on 2005LE works with Firewire
drives.
