Same bug is valid for the Natty back-port kernel in 10.04 ... A external firewire hard drive is NOT being recognized if the system is booted with 2.6.38.12.22 (latest "lts-backport-natty" available at the time of writing).
Booting the system with stock 2.6.32 resolves the problem. Comparing the dmesg logs of 2.6.32 past 2.6.38 reveals that 2.6.38 is entirely missing the "ohci1394" and subsequent "ieee1394" outputs. Here's the proof that the back-port kernel is compiled properly: $ ls -R /lib/modules/2.6.32-35-generic/ | grep ohci firewire-ohci.ko ohci1394.ko $ ls -R /lib/modules/2.6.38-12-generic/ | grep ohci firewire-ohci.ko ^-- Where's ohci1394.ko? How about finally implementing a quality assurance check before releasing packages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870250 Title: Problem with external firewire disk and new firewire stack in Kubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 beta2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/870250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
