What gives? lspci should show only one VT6307 device. The two physical ports are both attached to a single link layer controller device i.e. FireWire-to-PCI bridge device. I have never heard of such a problem before. It is not a FireWire problem but a PCI problem. Hence I Cc'd linux-pci. VT6307 is a PCI device and is surely located behind a PCIe-to-PCI bridge. Perhaps that bridge doesn't work right. Alan, could you please reply-to-all with the output of "dmesg" attached, beginning at the boot of the system? Maybe a BIOS update can fix it? > Secondly I am seeing a bunch of "Failed to reset ohci card" messages > that coincide with the extra devices. > > ...snip... > [ 37.619910] firewire_ohci 0000:04:12.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 > [ 38.618540] firewire_ohci: Failed to reset ohci card. > [ 38.618607] firewire_ohci 0000:04:12.0: PCI INT A disabled > [ 38.618615] firewire_ohci: probe of 0000:04:12.0 failed with error -16 > ...snip... Well, if the kernel driver core binds firewire-ohci to devices that don't actually exist, there are bound to be initialization failures. > lspci > ...snip... > 03:02.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.
