SBP2 and IEEE1394 in 2.5.74
I have at long last had reasonable success building 2.5.74 (I configured ACPI out, and along with it went scheduling_while_atomic). The only issue now is firewire, specifically modules SBP2 and IEEE1394. I looked at the source and found it to be amazingly small (not many files and none larger that about 30 bytes). Is there any timeline when these will be joining the kernel? I would switch over to using 2.5.X tomorrow if these could be completed/working. Is there a 2.4.X retrograde patch that could be applied to make these work before the complete 2.5.X version is completed? Thanks,
Bob

ieee1394, sbp2 and all of the subsystem is in working order. What problem are you having?
If all the files in drivers/ieee1394 are less than 30 bytes, I think you have some other problem.
Also, 2.5.74 stock has a problem in sbp2.c. It needs the linux/pci.h include added (already fixed in Linus' tree).
