Hi Debian users, My workstation's inputs (keyboard and mouse) froze today for the second time in 6 years and I had to hit the reset button.
Everything came back up fine (thanks, journaling!) but when I try to mount my external firewire drive which I use for backup, I get this: ~# mount /fwbackup mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device ~# grep fwbackup /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /fwbackup ext3 rw,user,noauto 0 0 I've unplugged the firewire cable and plugged it back in, in hopes I would see it be detected and 'enabled' in /var/log/messages or the kern.log, but I only see this in kern.log: Dec 20 13:14:53 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 Dec 20 13:14:53 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0030e0f4e020dab7] Dec 20 13:14:56 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 Dec 20 13:14:56 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-01:1023] GUID[0030e0f4e020dab7] Dec 20 13:14:56 localhost kernel: ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting...

Can someone put me on the path to getting this fixed? Thanks for reading! -- Brian Clark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
