I actually have a TiBook 400 myself, but so far without Linux, and its FireWire PHY is dead. But I can use CardBus FireWire cards on it to do basic testing on a big endian PC, and I can test the selfID byte-swapping by the PHY-less onboard controller. I now started a Fedora 8 live CD (self-test says the medium is corrupt... need to burn another one) and dmesg says: firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0002:24:0e.0, OHCI version 1.0 firewire_ohci: recursive bus reset detected, discarding self ids [...] The second line looks like this is indeed one of those which needs the header byte-swap workaround which ohci1394 has but firewire-ohci hasn't yet. On the weekend I'm going to attempt to put Linux on this PowerBook, at last. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- --=- ===-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
