Do you have still access to this hardware?
Could you try a later kernel, preferably 2.6.12?
What do you get from
$ ls /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/
$ find /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/fw-host0/ -type f -print -exec cat {} \;
Here is a proposed patch that may fix it: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux1394-user&m=112337569219356 Changing bug status to resolved/code_fix. The proposed works fixes the problem with a device of a different brand but which seems to be identical to yours: http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/icecube/ic_800plus http://www.linux1394.org/view_device.php?id=916 The proposed patch has not been merged yet. There is apparently an unresolved underlying problem which this bug has in common with bug 4004, and the patch does not cure that one. But it's being worked on... Should be solved by Linux 2.6.14. |

I'm plugging it into the motherboard's firewire 400 port. I've tried plugging in at least four other firewire storage devices (that have since been returned because I thought they were defective), none of which seem to do anything when plugged into the Linux machine. I've even tried plugging in my iPod. There are never any messages printed to any log file. Judging by my searches on the web, I believe my Via chipset is a supported Firewire controller.
