    I tried to follow the gtkpod tutorial but had major hang-ups with getting my
    firewire card working. When I first booted up after installing the card my
    box hung at kudzu. The second time the card was recognized. Then I started
    loading up the modules that are required, but when I got to sbp2, the box
    hung. Next time I tried it, my mouse stopped working. I did a
    rescan_scsi_bus, but did not find my iPod. I tried compiling a custom
    kernel with the modules built in, but I got a kernel panic with grub not
    knowing where root was. I had specified root=LABEL=/, then I tried
    root=/dev/hda1 which didn't work either.

    I'm using an Adaptec 4300 card, which is supposed to supported and works
    according to www.linux1394.com. I'm on the latest kernel update,
    kernel-2.6.6-1.427smp. Is there any pointers anyone could give me on this
    problem? Is actually using firewire on Linux a lost cause? Is USB 2.0 any
    more stable? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

The fix is use ata100 somehow, either by disabling dma entirely in loader.conf (since you have no more selective option there, and the raid card bios never has an option for controlling pio/dma mode like motherboard bios's have) and then use atacontrol in rc.early to set udma5, or by using disks that can only do ata100 and only advertise ata100 to the controller. ...
