[arch-general] old firewire stack?
Hi, according to http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/troubleshooting-and-common-problems/trou... we are using an old firewire stack. I'm having big problems with DV-video (firewire) stuff ( see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=655692 ) and I was wondering if the new stack would fix it, but how can I run it? [root@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]# lsmod | egrep 'firewire|1394' dv1394 18492 0 video1394 15836 0 ohci1394 30220 2 dv1394,video1394 raw1394 25756 0 ieee1394 85668 4 dv1394,video1394,ohci1394,raw1394 [root@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]# modprobe firewire-ohci FATAL: Module firewire_ohci not found. [root@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]# pacman -Ss juju [root@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]# pacman -Ss firewire extra/dvgrab 3.5-1 Saves audio and video data from an IEEE (FireWire) digital source extra/libraw1394 2.0.4-1 Provides an API to the Linux IEEE1394 (FireWire) driver [root@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]# pacman -Qs libraw local/libraw1394 2.0.4-1 Provides an API to the Linux IEEE1394 (FireWire) driver thanks Dieter

I believe the kernel can only have 1 compiled at a time, so you'll have to compile a custom kernel with the new stack... I stand to be corrected -- this is based on a comment I briefly saw in 'make menuconfig' today while playing with the -xen kernel ;)

Last time we visited this topic, the new stack was incomplete and unstable, and it also said so in the kernel configuration menu. As I don't have any firewire devices, I never really cared. Should we dump the old stack and switch to the new one in the upgrade to 2.6.32?
