I used to boot from Firewire HDs all the time, and occasionally would run into a similar issue. The problem was somehow something switched the Firewire kext in OS X to some other setting. I remember I looked in the System.log when the Firewire was working and it always said something like "A400" and "400Mbps" somewhere. When it was broken and not mounting the HDs it said "A100" and "100Mbps" instead. I believe the solution was to use Onyx, Cocktail, or Applejack to clean the caches, etc., and reboot. Then it acted normally again. I don't know if this is your problem, but it worked for me when my Firewire drives stopped mounting. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
