Re: is firewire supported on RHEL 4?

["Stephen J. Smoogen" <smooge gmail com>]

Any update on getting firewire to work steadily with the 2.6.9

of systems with firewire and a lot of firewire drives. We had hoped to
move to RHEL-4
on them (as the kernel-unsupported seems to work great.) but need the
external drives working.
