Yeah I already installed the kernel source following those directions. The problem is that the system doesn't have a package called "kernel-source" installed.
If you want to install the kernel source, follow the directions in the RHEL 4 release notes. Google "RHEL 4 Release Notes" (without quotes) and click the first link it shows. Doesn't answer why your current ieee1394 support isn't working, though. Neall
Well, it appears that package is RHEL 3 specific. You can wait for Dell to provide the promised support for RHEL 4... or:
If you go into the kernel source tree you downloaded, copy the right config from ./configs into ../.config, and do a "make xconfig," it appears IEEE1394 support is not enabled by default. You can enable it, do a "make modules" and "make modules install" and give that a try. Just a thought, given I haven't tried it (with this module). In other words, do your homework on building kernel modules and give that a try, using the Red Hat source. Interesting that they turned that off in RHEL 4, when it was enabled in RHEL 3. Neall
