Hi Bevil,

I'm a maintainer of Linux FireWire subsystem, and I apologize to trouble
you. Indeed, we can see unexpected system reboot in the following
combination:

* Linux kernel version 6.5 or later
* Any kind of AMD Ryzen machines
* A kind of IEEE 1394 host controller which consists of:
** Asmedia ASM1083 (PCI/PCIe bridge)
** VIA VT6306/6307/6308 (1394 OHCI host controller)

You can see my short description about the issue in my PR to Linus for version 
6.7 kernel.
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231105144852.GA165906@workstation.local/

The host controller card brings some kind of hardware trouble to the
machine of AMD Ryzen architecture as a result of change added to 1394
OHCI driver (firewire-ohci), while I never figure out the mechanism yet,
since the system reboots without any kind of information in console
output. I continue to investigate further by every single way I can
think of...

At present, no workaround found. I confirm that some portion to exclude
the above condition enable system work again; e.g. usage of IEEE 1394
host controller with VIA6315 or VIA6305 connected with PCI bus without
the bridge chip.

Regards

Title:
  VT6307 IEEE1394 card causes reboot loop

Status in Linux:
  In Progress
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  used the live USB for Kubuntu and UbuntuStudio 23.10 as well as upgraded to 
Mantic 6.5.0-10-generic from a Lunar 6.2.0-36 that works...  all of the 6.5.0 
64 bit kernel versions do a reboot loop prior to the splash screen display. 
  Processor is an AMD Ryzen 5600X, MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS Motherboard with 64 
gig 3200 ddr4 ram. AMD Radeon RX6600 graphics... 
  latest BIOS firmware is installed, "fwupdmrg refresh --force && fwupdmrg 
update" in root terminal reports no available updates.

  in the advanced options of grub I can boot into mantic with the lunar
  6.2.0-36 kernel. Cell phone video capture of the bad boot included...

  Further testing found that a Mantic beta July 3rd build will boot (6.3
  kernel)

  booting to the current live Kubuntu USB with the 6.5.0-9 kernel and removing 
hardware 1 piece at a time then replacing if the loop occurred found that as 
soon as a VT6307 PCIe card is removed the 6.5.0-9 and 6.5.0-10 kernels will 
boot properly. as soon as the card is reinstalled the panic reboot loop starts 
up again... If there was a log generated from the loop I have been unable to 
find one in the /var/log directory...
  I have been unable to get kdump to work...
