The line firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1 says that the firewire subsystem in the kernel saw the drive enclosure, but was not able to read the enclosure's configuration rom. Since the config rom tells the firewire subsytem what kind of device it is, the kernel can't do anything with it. Can you attach the external drive, boot Fedora, and do the following as root: # rmmod firewire-ohci # modprobe firewire-ohci debug=15 and see if the kernel provides anything more useful in dmesg? All the interesting lines in dmesg will start with "firewire", so you can just # dmesg|grep firewire which will be a lot easier to include in an email message. -- JF -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
