Could be flaky hardware or an issue between driver and firmware. Try unloading the 1394 drivers, then "modprobe ieee1394 disable_irm=1 && modprobe ohci1394". > And then there is the complaint > > ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 These errors can be temporary (then they are harmless) or terminal (which would be bad). In your case its just temporary, otherwise the sbp2 driver would never be attached to the device. > I would certainly appreciate any other suggestions on what I could > try to get this tape drive working under ubuntu.

Like everybody else who reported here at this bug, you should try the new alternative firewire drivers as mentioned in comment 21. These new drivers are meant to replace the classic ones eventually, when the new drivers became feature-complete and fully stable. (firewire- core replaces ieee1394, raw1394, video1394. firewire-ohci replaces ohci1394. firewire-sbp2 replaces sbp2.) The new drivers are smaller, more correct, more secure, and better performing than the old ones. The one CD-RW of mine which behaves like described in this bug when attached to Texas Instruments controllers (and sometimes also on other controllers) works perfectly with the new drivers. As I wrote in comment 21, you get these new drivers if you install a Jaunty test kernel package; see bug 276463. But since you already modified your kernel, you could also configure the new drivers in into your current kernel. -- External ieee1394 drive not recognized 2.6.27-5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279342 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
