FC7 and firewire

[Mladen Kuntner]

I have problems with firewire since FC7 test1.
Tried to get help or help debugging on this list two times

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00540.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2007-April/msg01377.html

but with no answers.

This is third time.

Problems with firewire on FC7:

1. as normal user no program ( testlibraw , dvcont, dvgrab ) is finding
the camera, 

as root see below:

2. with on board firewire controler
01:0a.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link
Layer Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-K8N Ultra-9 Mainboard
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
        Memory at f8004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

- testlibraw is OK
- dvcont ( play and stop not working , status working 50% )
- dvgrab ( unable to start camera, if camera is playing capture is ok in
50% , other 50% camera is not found )

3. with PCI VIA firewire card
01:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 43) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        I/O ports at c000 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
- testlibraw is OK
- dvcont ( play, stop, status all ok )
- dvgrab gives
	Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0080880100a306bb

	Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun 28 23:02:11 2007 ...
	localhost kernel: Oops: 0000 [2] SMP 
	Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun 28 23:02:11 2007 ...
	localhost kernel: CR2: ffffffffffffffea

and dmesg shows kernel oops , capture is not working.

Otherwise happy FEDORA user since FC1.
Keep up the good work.

You probably need to file bug reports. That would be better to keep 
track of any (potential) issues. Thanks.

Sorry forget to mention:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243081

my intention really was to grab some of Kristian Høgsberg - s attention.

Maybe it is not right that is filled under dvgrab, but i did not know
then that libraw1394 is supposed to hide all kernel changes to user
space programs.

Thanks Mladen
