I don't need this utility that badly any more -- however, it doesn't seem to work. I have these modules loaded (and two ieee1934 devices working): bash-2.05b$ lsmod Module Size Used by raw1394 26540 0 vmnet 28772 2 vmmon 167500 0 usb_storage 29696 0 ohci_hcd 19144 0 usbcore 106232 3 usb_storage,ohci_hcd sbp2 21896 0 ohci1394 31684 0 ieee1394 94004 3 raw1394,sbp2,ohci1394 nvidia 3465916 12 3c59x 38760 0 The gscanbus 0.7.1 still complains: erbelix root # gscanbus couldn't get handle: No such file or directory This probably means that you don't have raw1394 support in the kernel or that you haven't loaded the raw1394 module. The kernel is 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 (SMP Athlon machine). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Do the needed devices exist? If not and you are using udev, I
Do the needed devices exist? If not and you are using udev, I´d suggest that you either need to mknod them or have a look at Bug 87440.
This bug is awaiting response from user...
You are right. The raw1394 module is loaded and registered in /sys but udev does not create the /dev/raw1394 node for it. I have the latest stable release of udev installed (056) and there doesn't seem to be any relevant rule for ieee devices in /etc/udev/rules.d. One small change in gscanbus could help though -- the error message should perhaps complain about the device node and not about the module. But that's for the gscanbus author, I guess. Thanks for your quick and infomrative response to my report!
Reopening to resolve properly.
