kernel FireWire GUID ffffffffffffffff is invalid!

I get this all over the Console whenever my Hackie wakes up from sleep. 10.6.8, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P board, i7 2600k, iBoot + Multibeast install. Apparently it has to do with the Firewire chipset. It's irksome as everything else is working splendidly on this board minus audio. As a result, I'm using a Griffin Firewave hooked up to a receiver for 5.1 surround sound. It works great and sounds great, too, but upon waking from sleep, the Firewave powers up but I get no audio. It's recognized by System Profiler just fine, but apparently it doesn't want to work.

Some suggested getting a TI chipset card to fix the problem in earlier threads, but I'm hoping there's a fix of some sort floating around that I might have missed that doesn't involve dropping a Firewire card into this thing.

What method are you using to enable firewire?
A DSDT edit might solve this.

I thought all Gigabyte MB's use the texas instruments chip for there firewire chips EP45 DS3R has T.I. TSB43AB23... so GB dropped them on there new boards? will run over to there site to check.

If you have a hard drive connected via Firewire, try resetting the Spotlight Index:

Try removing your Firewire from network devices.

Try a CMOS reset.

Finally, and most promising:

The listed tools (such as ohcirom.exe) can be found with some creative googling.

I have the same problem.

I have the right DSDT, graphics kext, sleep works, but just this annoying message in the console every second:

24/07/12 10:47:59.000 PM kernel: FireWire GUID ffffffffffffffff is invalid!

I tried a few of the above, and I can edit DSDT if I knew what to edit exactly.

Any help appreciated! thanks!
