ohci1394: $Rev 1313 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> ohci1394: fw-host0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 101! ohci1394: Failed to remap registers - card not accessible
Reopen with emerge --info and some errors, we can't guess.
Dude. This is on the INSTALL CD. There is no EMERGE. I gave you the only errors I recieved.
Whoever you are, please, for my sanity's sake, dont close a bug without reading the TITLE again. I'll give you some more info, though its basically redundant I boot into the minimalist install cd for PPC with 'dofirewire'. I get those error messages, and then I get absolutely nothing from dmesg upon inserting or removing firewire devices, nor do devices get created, nor does anything work. I dont know what you're expecting me to pull from my ass here, this is all I've got.
This is obviuosly a bug of the PCI subsystem or lower-level subsystems of the kernel on the Minimalist Install CD. The resource length has to be 0x800 = 2048 bytes or more, not 0x101 = 257 bytes. Do you know about kernels which successfully initialize the controller on this machine? BTW, I never heard of this bug before on the linux1394 mailinglists.
OK. The 2007.0 release is out and there's a new kernel on it, so if 2.6.19 has this fixed, then it's fixed in 2007.0 already.
Is this still an issue with 2008.0?
This should be resolved. If not, please reopen the bug.
