RPM missing in Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4

732879Nov 10 2009 — edited Mar 3 2010

The RPM oracle-firewire-module-2.6.xxxx is missing in Oracle Enterprise Linux.

I have two servers:

1) One runs Redhat EL kernel 2.6.9-11.xxx. I can see my firewire drive from Redhat.

fdisk -l ===> show firewire partitions.

rpm -qa ===> show RPM oracle-firewire-module-2.6.xxxx

2) One runs OEL kernel 2.6.18-164.el5PAE (lateset download from Oracle Store). I cannot see my firewire drive from OEL.

fdisk -l ===> nada

rpm -qa ===> nada

This is very disappointing. Oracle Linux is missing Oracle's own RPMs. I did several installs and made sure I picked everything available in DVD. Further, I searched install media and did not see any firewire RPMs in the DVD. OSS (oss.oracle.com) does not provide RPMs for versions later then Oracle Enterprise Linux 4. I was demoing RAC with Oracle Enterprise Linux 4. Then I upgraded to Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 and now I am screwed. I will have to go to Redhat EL5.
