[SLUG] Firewire and Mdk 9.0

[Bill <billb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get my external firewire hard drive (vipower VP-9059V 
with self fitted Seagate ATA III 30gb drive) to operate with Mandrake 9.0.

Harddrake shows it as
Vendor: Agere Systems
Bus: PCI
Bus ID: IIc1: 5811
Locn on the bus: 0:9:0
Description: FW322 1394A PCI PHY/Link Open Host Ctrl I/f
Module:Unknown
Media Class: Serial_Firewire

--------------------------------------------

Insmod ieee1394, insmod ohci 1394 and insmod raw 1394 show "Using 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394.0.gz

____________________________

There is no raw1394,1394 or firewire in /dev.

I have read docs at http://www.linux1394.org/ and searched Google for 
"linux firewire" and it appears that I need to create /dev/raw1394, but 
when I (as root) cd to /dev and try "make dev raw1394 I get the message "No 
rule to make target '/dev/raw1394'.Stop."

What am i doing wrong, if anything?

Thanks

Bill
