FWIW, I'm running 2.6.5-rc3-bk5 on a Mandrake 10 system and FireWire is working perfectly with two DVD+RW drives. In contrast, 2.6.5's FireWire completely explodes (it doesn't take the whole system down, but it spews tons of messages and is completely useless.) Both of those are mainline, BTW. Since the latest posted arjanv kernel (2.6.5-1.349) is based on 2.6.6-rc3-bk, it should have the ieee1394 update and I would expect it to work again. I don't know if I will have time to test this in the next few days, however. -Barry K. Nathan <barryn@xxxxxxxxx>
