Firewire Disk Broken in 2.4.19-pre8-ben0 kernel (was working fine with 2.4.18-ben0)

Hi, I was successfully using my LaCie 80 GB firewire disk drive with the 2.4.18-ben0 kernel on a dual 500 MHz G4 PPC system (with a UP kernel). However, it no longer works with the 2.4.19-pre8-ben0 kernel. I tried using the ieee1394-473 tarball but that didn't help. I also tried going back to the ieee1394-444 tarball, but that didn't help either. Here are the dmesg messages from when I modprobe ieee1394/ohci1394 (these are from using the 444 tarball): ohci1394: $Revision: 1.101 $ Ben Collins [off-list ref] PCI: Enabling device 02:0a.0 (0010 -> 0012) ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[63] MMIO=[80080000-80080800] Max Packet=[2048] ieee1394: received packet during reset; ignoring ohci1394_0: Unexpected tcode 0xf(0x6001c1ff) in AR ctx=0, length=-1: dma prg stopped ieee1394: ConfigROM quadlet transaction error for node 00:1023 ieee1394: Host added: Node[01:1023] GUID[00000000feeb324a] [Linux OHCI-1394] For now, I am using the 2.4.18 ieee1394 code with the 2.4.19-pre8 kernel. For the record, here is the dmesg output from this working case: ohci1394: $Revision: 1.98 $ Ben Collins [off-list ref] ohci1394_0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[63] MMIO=[80080000-80080800] Max Packet=[2048] ieee1394: NodeMgr: hotplug policy returned -2 ieee1394: Device added: Node[00:1023] GUID[00000000204027a1] [LaCie Group SA ] ieee1394: Host added: Node[01:1023] GUID[00000000feeb324a] [Linux OHCI-1394] The working 2.4.18 ieee1394 code is dated February 26 while the broken 444 tarball code is dated April 4. -Bill ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
