Hi all,
CentOS noob trying v5 for the first time -- What's the best way to get firewire modules onboard? Build a custom kernel? I'm not seeing any cent5 compatible module-rpms for this. Any general pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've used firewire on RHL 7.3. To the best of my recollection, it just worked.
Certainly, standard kernels since then have introduced no new problems.

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

Or try this work-in-progress page for just building the required module rather than a whole new kernel:
