Hi,

I just checked it on the SPARC machine, with the following result:

=====================================================================
firewire_core: giving up on config rom for node id ffc1
firewire_core: BM lock failed, making local node (ffc0) root.
firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc0, gap_count=5

Turning on the firewire external HDD (hot-plug), I can make the system
lock up.

I also checked that the i386 config still works:

I hope I will have the time for further investigation soon. Feel free to
tell me what to look for to speed up this process.

Thanks,
