Target Disk Mode (Macintosh) reading from Gentoo - How To?

[kritip]

Hi everyone,

I have had a browse but am struggling.

I am trying to access my HDD on my PowerBook G4 when in Target Disc Mode (TDM) which is basically a system that turns the laptop into a firewire HDD drive. Gentoo on my x86 box is not detecting it though.

My firewire card is installed ok. its listed in lspci output.

I have never need to use ieee1394 before however.[/code]

I have enabled HFS+, ieee1394, SBP-2 in the kernel, but when i plug the TDM laptop in with the firewire cable nothing happens, no dmesg output either!?

I have both HFS and ext2 partitions on the laptop.

Is there anything I'm missing? TDM works fine on this laptop on a mac, so cable and laptop are good.

Cheers folks,

Kristian

you do not get ANY messages in dmesg?
that's quite strange. even if you forgot something in the kernel that prevents the whole thing from working, you should see that there is something connected.
what does the apple documentation say? should this work with non mac computers?

Yes, it does work apparently. I found a page on google, but as fate would have it, I can't find it now

NO message at all when I plug it in
