Missing device

Hi John,

What kernel version and which distribution are you running?  You need a
2.4 series kernel (you could patch a 2.2 kernel, but I think it's best
to just upgrade).

Try:
mknod /dev/raw1394 c 171 0
modprobe raw1394

This did the job for my Via OHCI adapter and Sony TRV140 DV camcorder.

If you need more help, check out the info at
<http://www.linux1394.org/start_req.html>

I would also suggest you use a higher-level program such as Kino
<http://kino.schirmacher.de/>

Enjoy :)
