           Summary: Hoary - Security update (linux-image-2.6.10-5-386)
                    breaks ieee1394 firewire
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: slgeorge at gmail.com
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Have been installing stuff on hoary, one of the updates was to the kernel.  When
I booted the system this afternoon firewire / ieee1394 disks wouldn't work - I
have two sdc1 and sdd1.  Checked dmesg and they weren't been detected at boot:
tried unplugging and replugging but nothing showing up in syslog.  Checked lsmod
and ieee1394, sbp2 and ohci1394 appeared loaded. Past forum post said try rmmod
the modules and insmod them - didn't have any impact.  Downgraded the kernel to
2.6.10-34 (hoary) and rebooted, the disks are detected and I can use them fine.

Set as major because losing disks in return for a security fix is a big problem.
