> [ 432.935107] ieee1394: sbp2: scsi_add_device failed (-19) This _may_ indeed be the bug which I referred to in my previous comment. Ubuntu's 2.6.15-20 has a regression of upstream 2.6.16, which is partly my fault. Ubuntu Edgy has the regression fixed. See bug #36619.

I haven't investigated if there is a possible workaround, but it was reported that a firmware update helps: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/1903/focus=1931 Firmware for _some_ PL-3507 revisions are available at http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=44 You need a Windows PC with USB to upload the firmware to the enclosure's bridge. Unless it is something else than PL-3507. -- External Firewire DVD-RW not working. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39257 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
