There are quite a large number of bugs in bugzilla about FireWire/IEEE1394/OHCI1394/SBP2 problems in Shrike: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Red+Hat+Linux&version=9&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=anywordssubstr&long_desc=FireWire+IEEE1394+OHCI1394+SBP2&Search=Search especially in relations to kernel-2.4.20-18.9, most of which are owned by Arjan but are still listed as New, rather than Assigned. Most of these have had no response from Red Hat. Is Arjan on holiday, or on sick leave or something? I posted a bug on this over two weeks ago, and would at least have thought it would have been assigned by now, or had some response from Red Hat. FireWire was working in Shrike for me until the upgrade to 2.4.20-18.9, and now rebooting into 2.4.20-13.9 gives uneven results. Given that an update from Red Hat broke this, is it reasonable to expect another update to fix it again, or am I going to have to try and fix this myself? (I really don't want to have to do that - kernel patching, configuration and compiling is an art form I have never mastered and am somewhat too busy to now.)
