With firewire, there is just nothing for the external HD The firewire port it's integrated to my motherboard as an ATX form card. The USB port where i connect the HD is in the same card
Like the 'upstream' version, the stock centos kernel does not include firewire support. If you are running centos 4.x, you can install the centosplus kernel: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus. A similar version for centos5 is still in the testing repository: http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/ or http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/
