I see a similar problem with 12.04 on an HP EliteBook 8530w: Kernel Linux 3.5.0-45-generic Release 12.04 (precise) 32-bit
On Firewire insertion, nothing happens and the disk does not start. If I then plug the disk using USB 2, the disk starts and works. If I then unplug the USB cable, then plug the Firewire cable again, this time, the disk starts, gets properly automounted, and works perfectly until shutdown. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994790 Title: [Dell XT3] Firewire does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/994790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
