external firewire hard drive on RHEL AS 3

[Michael Ault]

What does a "dmesg|grep sbp2" show? Also a
"demesg|grep scsi"?

You may need to do a echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0
0 0">/proc/scsi/scsi

have you tried reloading the sbps modules?

modprobe -r sbp2
modprobe -r sd_mod
modprobe -r ohci1394
modprobe ohci1394
modprobe sd_mod
modprobe sbp2
