Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
Can anyone give me some quick pointers to mounting an external |
4 |
firewire drive under Gentoo, please? |

I've just installed 2006.0 on a new system, and pretty much used the |
7 |
exact same .config as the LiveCD's kernel when building my own |
8 |
(`zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux.config`) so I'm guessing that |
9 |
all I'm missing is some modprobes. |
10 |
|
11 |
I thought that under udev, the kernel was supposed to be quite clever |
12 |
about recognising devices. Do I need to emerge coldplug, or is there |
13 |
anything else I can do to help things along? |
14 |
|
15 |
If I boot from a LiveCD or Knoppix these are always very good about |
16 |
finding all the devices in the system and making a mount point for |
17 |
them - are there any utilities for my installed Gentoo system that |
18 |
will do similar. |

Many thanks in advance for any pointers, |
