Ok. I got the message when trying to rmmod ohci1394 (both ohci1394 and
ieee1394 show up with lsmod). I was trying to unload/reload ohci1394
as /proc/partitions didn't show sdb or sdc devices.
To confirm the hardware is there and ok:
2.4.21-pre6 shows /proc/partitions as:
major minor #blocks name
8 0 1048575 sda
8 16 134217727 sdb
8 17 134215011 sdb1
8 32 134217727 sdc
8 33 134215011 sdc1
3 0 20010312 hda
3 1 30208 hda1
3 2 1050840 hda2
3 3 18922680 hda3
3 64 80043264 hdb
3 65 80035798 hdb1
(so the hardware is there).......
The complete error message I get when I try to rmmod ohci1394 is:
[root@localhost root]# /sbin/rmmod ohci1394
Device 'fw-host0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and
must be fixed.

I built 2.6.0-test6 with gcc 3.2.2. I am using module-init-tools-0.9.14
to load/unload kernel objects. The base system is redhat9.0 upgraded
with yum.
The firewire controller is:
00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 43) on I/O port:

If more information is needed, please mail me back directly as I am not
on the list. I will try to reply within a few hours.
