Certainly looks like the fire wire bit worked, it barfed on a ntfs mount so it must have been talking to know there was ntfs there. By the way if a kernel module barfs in this way sometimes a reboot is necessary as that kernel module jams up and keeps devices and file handles open and you won't get a 2nd go out of it. Sometimes it is not as critical it depends on the context of the function (if it was atomic or not) > > So the HD looks OK, but the Dazzle still gives errors trying to cap > with dvgrab. 'no such file or handle' I think you are missing a kernel module/driver. Its a bit like plugging a usb device in. The usb system detects the device but it is useless with out the driver to go with it. Have you googled around for a driver. Prehapse you just need to modprobe a driver you already have? -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk
