|
|
Several updates ago (I don't really know when this happened) my FireWire attached HDD stopped working. My kernel seems to be configured properly (according to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/FireWire), but I can't see the HDD.
I have two FW ports - one is on the motherboard, the second on the soundcard. Both used to work without any problems.
Code: | thor linux # lspci|grep -i firewire
08:02.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)
08:04.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev c0) |
Code: | thor linux # uname -a
Linux thor 3.5.7-gentoo-sh #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 22 10:25:27 CEST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
Code: | thor linux # dmesg|grep firewire

The first error (giving up on node ffc0: reading config rom failed: busy) appears on boot - the HDD was connected to motherboard FW port. last two lines appeared later, when I disconnected the HDD form the motherboard FW port an connected it to the soundcard FW port. _________________ The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

1. Use gscanbus to see if your hdd shows up.

gscanbus shows two icons - one is S400 Linux Firewire, the second, which appears when I connect the HDD is a question mark saying "Unknown, Unknown". I get these messages after I connect the drive:
Code: |
Error while reading from IEEE1394: : Resource temporarily unavailable
1/0x0000fffff0000400: read failed
1/0x0000fffff0000400: wrong bus info block length

repeated several times
I'm using the new firewire stack, and I believe I was using it for quite some time. Besides, I cannot find the old stack in menuconfig (kernel 3.5.7) _________________ The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

Turns out to be a hardware problem - the FireWire electronics on the drive enclosure have failed. _________________ The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.
