Their "compatibility list" puts=20 the Fire-i digital camera and the Fire-i400 both in the "Works Great"=20 class. Both use ohci1394, which your dmesg output below says you are=20 loading. The Unibrain page on "detailed product specs" mentions the possibility=20 of the camera needing a separate DC input to work. It says: "Fire-i=99 Digital Camera is provided with a DC power input jack=20 connector, that can be used when the FireWire connection does not=20 provide DC power. This happens typically: "* when the FireWire bus is converted to a 4-pin connection "* when, in 6-pin, no powering device is present, even from the=20 =46ireWire interface. This is the case when using CardBus FireWire=20 adapters or on some laptops with built-in interface" The "doesn't even turn on" part of your message makes me suspect that=20 you have this power problem ... not a Linux problem as such but a=20 hardware problem. Only a guess, though. If that's it, there is info on using DC adapters at=20 http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/tSpec_Fire_i_DC.htm >=20 > ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized > video1394: Installed video1394 module > usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 > pccard: card ejected from slot 1 > ieee1394: Node removed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0814435800000528] > ohci1394: fw-host0: Set PHY Reg timeout [0xffffffff/0x00004000/100] > ohci1394: fw-host0: Set PHY Reg timeout [0xffffffff/0x00004000/100] > pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 1 > PCI: Enabling device 0000:07:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) > ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:07:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 11 (level,=20 > low) -> IRQ 11 > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:07:00.0 to 64 > ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=3D[11] =20 > MMIO=3D[c4004000-c40047ff] Max Packet=3D[2048] > eth1394: eth1: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0) > ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0814435800000528] >=20 > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbi= e" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs >=20 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie"= in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
