deesto Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Running iDeneb Lite 1.6 (10.5.8) with latest Apple software updates. I'd like to get FireWire devices working, but although it seems to supply power to devices, I can't make a "valid" device connection. System Profiler -> Hardware -> FireWire just says "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices." Messages that appear during boot: $ grep -i firewire /private/var/log/system.log Nov 3 20:45:03 localhost kernel[0]: FireWire runtime power conservation disabled.

deesto Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Does anyone have FireWire working who might be able to give me a hand? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197434-firewire-help/#findComment-1332140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hascosx Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 install with iatkos 10.5.5 up to 10.5.8 pci card firewire chipset texas intrument Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197434-firewire-help/#findComment-1332760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deesto Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 install with iatkos 10.5.5 up to 10.5.8pci card firewire chipset texas intrument So I should wipe out an otherwise completely working 10.5.8 system, start with a completely different 10.5.5 distribution, hope I can update to 10.5.8 and hope that your chipset is similar enough to mine that firewire might work? Is there a better, safer, more sensible way to try and get firewire drivers working?
