The adaptec card is detected; the camera is not.


IOW, nothing in syslog or dmesg?

Forced loading of video1394 and raw1394 give
no improvement.


Googling "site:debian.org 1394 camera" yields
some references to earlier kernels including
a few bug reports.


Is there any simple solution at present?

To me it just confirms the presence of the Adaptec card.

Appears that the chipset on this card is not supported.

http://www.linux1394.org/view_device.php?id=1278

"Chipset: TSB43AB23
Level of compatibility: Does not work for me
Special notes regarding compatibility:
kernel 2.6.23 (but same problems with earlier versions),
card revision 1.1: data corruption and kernel panics on
external connected discs"

Anyone who wants to work on the driver is welcome
to contact me about testing on this card.

Found that the TSB43AB23 chipset on the Adaptec
1394-PCI card isn't supported. Ref.

http://www.linux1394.org/

Installing another card solved it.

Thanks, ... p. crawford
