Hello Iain, |
19 |
|
20 |
I've recently discovered these 2 little jewels. They may not help, but |
21 |
it's worth a whirl. |
22 |
|
23 |
# udevstart [after you boot and then connect the device to 1394] |
24 |
|
25 |
# udevinfo -q all -d | grep <camera> |
26 |
|
27 |
Also devices(/dev/) can be tarred up and auto read upon reboot, |
28 |
even if the hardware is not present by adding this to your |
29 |
/etc/conf.d/rc file: |
30 |
|
31 |
#RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" |
32 |
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes |
33 |
|
34 |
This method does not allow udev to discover new devices |
35 |
upon reboot. I have not delved into this mechanism deeper, but, it |
36 |
would seem logical that once the device is seen by udev, then you |
37 |
could tar up these devices and have them added to /dev/ and find |
38 |
a way to let udev do it's 'auto-discover' upon reboot. Sort of a hybrid |
39 |
method using both udev's auto-discovery mechanism and |
40 |
manually providing a list of hardware to the /dev/ dir. |
41 |
|
42 |
My experiences with udev, are that it is still very much |
43 |
'a work in progress'.... weak documentation and scant few |
44 |
examples.... |
45 |
|
46 |
PS. I'm not even saying that udev is the culprit, but it's always |
47 |
suspect with low level hardware, in the 2.6 kernel series.... |
