I have the same problem here.
Original 17" iLamp
Original 80GB Maxtor in CompuCable FireXpress drive enclosure
I can see and mount the firewire drive from Tiger on the internal drive.
I can see and mount the firewire drive booting from a Tiger DVD and a
Ubuntu PPC live CD.
I have messages similar to Steven's with ctrl-alt-f3.
I tried "install mediacheck" and "install firewire mediacheck" and
seemed to get exactly the same output with ctrl-alt-f3.
I am very interested in the solution for this.
HTH,
Rob

Hi Bill,
Performing the media check and then cntrl-alt-F3 gives me:
Found USB controller ohci-hcd
No firewire controller found
module ohci-hcd not found
Module ohci-hcd yenta_socket not found
Those are the only lines that have ohci in them.
Thanks if you need more I can write down the whole output list.

Subject: Re: [ydl-gen] Firewire install question
The partition scheme doesn't seem to be the problem, moreso with
loading the modules.
I'm not sure this is the easiest way to check it, but try this:
- Boot install disk, at yaboot prompt type:
install mediacheck
- A bunch of white text on black background should scroll as the
kernel loads. Then the screen should turn blue, with a little
ASCI message box saying something like "Loading OCHI modules" or
similar. Then a prompt will appear to test your CD's.
- Forget the prompt, instead press CTRL+ALT+F3 (might be F4, not
at my test machine to verify).
- Look for a Line or lines saying something like "OCHI
controller XXX
found" or "1394 controller unknown" or anything else related
to those
two controllers being probed.
I'm pretty interested in the output. That'll hold the information
needed to see whats wrong.

It is the original 40gig hd from my TiPowerBook Samsung I think.
It is the
only drive in the chain and I had been looking for the OHCI and
1394 drivers
but didn't know that they would be indicated with blue
background, so no I
have not seen them load.
