I did not try with the latest kernel. What errors do you get? Some like these seem to reappear: [ 2424.703052] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-02:1023 -> 0-00:1023 [ 2495.411909] ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 [ 2495.412071] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-02:1023 Stefan Richter tried more than a year ago to get a FW enclosure working on that PowerBook5,8 .. it didn't work ... Quite a few threads on that, IIRC, one of the latest starting here: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-September/025739.html > I also had my iPod working with firewire. That sounds encouraging ... Perhaps I really should get a new FW enclosure ... Even one of the latest kernels, IIRC, wasn't able to build a connection from the disk to the FW port ... I suspect Apple having being down-powered the FW ports on the alubook. Or simply changed important specs for them. Because even my old tiBook-IV is able to connect to the same FW disk, same enclosure ...
