I had reported back in Bug #543488 that with Lucid, it was not possible to mount some firewire hard disks either with the old or new stack. I had made the test with Lucid Beta 1. Today, I'm updating the status with Lucid Beta 2: It is working out-of-the-box (without patch or other configuration),

I've found, what I think, is a good solution to the problem for now. The hdparm udev rule that is launching hdparm. What hdparm is tyring to do is enable ATA passthrough for drives that claim to support it (most newer drives do). The problem is there doesn't seem to be proper kernel support or

Yes, this is probably an appropriate workaround (assuming it works, but it does look plausible) - but hdparm is (potentially) doing other things as well as enabling ATA passthrough, so I'd like to allow the active upstream discussion of this problem to proceed a bit longer before we slam a

Just to let everyone know. The comment I made about a 2nd issue with udev was invalid. Had something in my other install. Though on my new install apport is giving a false error about the kernel. Though no errors reported in dmesg and the firewire drive is working fine (with the workaround fix).

The issue here is the hdparm command is launched by udev. It then attempts to try to activate ata pass through. This then causes the drive to fail. bug 515023 But disabling hdparm from being lauched by udev gets around the issue. Then the drive works fine. I tested the latest hdparm (9.28) and
