From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; APC) Description of problem: The on-board 1394 firewire controller appears to have a problem operating on the stock RH9 OS. On bootup the console outputs the following message, to the order of 50-100 times: ohci1394_0: Unrecoverable error, shutting down card. Upon inspection of /var/log/messages the message proceding the sucession of the above message is: ng down card The same error is apparent upon reboot and shut down (at the console). There was an extension cable from the on-board pins to the rear of the case which was removed with no error resolution. The error is resolved by disabling firewire entirely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Board Revision: 1.0, Kernel: 2.4.20-8, Red Hat Linux: 3.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot the system, or 2. Shut down the system, or 3. Simply boot the system. Actual Results: As mentioned in the descrioption. Expected Results: The OS detects, correctly loads the drivers and does not produce the said error. Additional info: It is not tested whether a new kernel corrects this problem, or if in fact the firewire still functions regardless of the error. The system did report that the drivers for the 1394 device were loaded, however the error messages said above appear after that point. An additional driver perhaps could be the simple resolution.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
