dsc106 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 System specs in sig. Everything else seems to be working. Firewire worked in Tiger (TubGirl). System recognizes firewire port in the profiler. But if I plug anything in (camera, external HDD) it is not detected; USB is however. YET... when I plug my camera into the firewire port, it does not recogize on desktop or in application, however, in profiler it even shows the name of the device... hmmm... Any idea how to get firewire working properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat_7 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Did you try a reboot with the device plugged in and powered on? Cat_7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsc106 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, when I do that, I get a blackscreen after the boot - the interface doesn't load. It loads again when no firewire is plugged in. Using -V, on a normal boot with nothing plugged in, it says: "Firewire can't determine security mode, defaulting to full security" or something like that, along with "firewire GUID invalid 00000000" or something like that... Hmmm... GRR. Any ideas? I'm using Asus A8N-SLI nforce 4 motherboard... And if this doesn't work, is there a PCI natively supported firewire add in card that I can buy?

DJ McG Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I am not sure but is it possible you ma need a driver? I am not experienced with hardware...

zonker Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I get this too. Firewire is recognized in system profiler, plugging a device will let it be seen in system profiler but it won't mount to desktop. If I plug it in and reboot, it is mounted. If I unplug it after boot and then plug it back in, it fails to mount and I have to reboot to let the device be recognized again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
