    Firewire drives seem barely usable if at all with the 2.6 kernel.
    Try a 'cat /dev/sda >/dev/null' run to see if you can read
    the whole thing without getting errors and disconnecting.
    I had better luck with FC1, although it wouldn't autodetect at
    all. FC3 should autodetect if you unplug and replug the firewire
    cable even though it misses on a reboot and then is likely to
    have errors.
