In earlier versions, CentOS Plus included firewire support. I will assume CentOS 5 will, too. It is not out yet.
Yes, saw that link. There doesn't seem to be much centos5-specific information on the website, however, nor release info for plus. It seems like the trend is for there to be a centosplus kernel released sometime in the future, however I have an immediate need for firewire. Has anyone built or added firewire modules to centos5?
A member of the CentOS team said yesterday that the release of CentOS Plus 5 would be in a week to 10 days. If you cannot wait for that, you would have to build the kernel yourself. Follow the steps in:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
When you run 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig', you need to set the IEEE1394 support to m (module). You would see this in the .config file as:
CONFIG_IEEE1394=m
