This combination has worked since FC3. After upgrading to the new kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 my firewire devices no longer function.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine with card inserted, plugging in drive after logging in. 2. Boot with card and drive connected. Same symptoms. Additional info:
What is the last working kernel version?
Fedora Core (2.6.14-1.1653_FC4) was the previous working kernel. Leo
There was no code change in ohci1394 between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15, only a small change in the ieee1394 base driver which might affect low-level functions. Please try this: Boot the machine without the card inserted. Make sure no 1394 drivers are loaded. (Check with "lsmod | grep 1394", unload them with modprobe -r if necessary.) Load ieee1394 with "modprobe ieee1394 disable_irm=1". This will cause ieee1394 to skip the function with the added code. Insert the card, connect the drive. *If* this helps, check whether it simply was because you bootet without the card inserted. I.e. repeat the above without the parameter.
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
(this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state) As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen this bug.
