I am having a problem with ieee1394. I have two essentially identical external firewire drives. If I plug in either one, it seems to show up properly as a device. If both are plugged in, however, there is only one device. Any help is appreciated. This is what dmesg says when I plug in one, then the other:

I am using the Debian stock kernel 2.6.14-2-powerpc-smp from sid. More info: 1) I can get the serial number from /dev/sdi using scsiinfo. When only one drive is plugged in, the serial number reported is that of the plugged in drive (no surprises). When both are plugged in, the serial number reported is that of whichever drive was plugged in second. 2) /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices lists the following when both drives are plugged in: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 24 15:07 000393fffe0ae224 -> ../../../devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0e.0/fw-host0/000393fffe0ae224/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 24 15:07 000393fffe0ae224-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0e.0/fw-host0/000393fffe0ae224/000393fffe0ae224-0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 24 15:07 0030e002e0454647 -> ../../../devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0e.0/fw-host0/0030e002e0454647/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 24 15:07 0030e002e0454647-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0e.0/fw-host0/0030e002e0454647/0030e002e0454647-0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 24 15:07 fw-host0 -> ../../../devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0e.0/fw-host0/ --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
