RE: Auto detecting FireWire Drives and Knoppix 5.1
I tried the boot option "knoppix acpi=force" but had no success. I
noticed that udev is now used in place of hotplug - could this have had
any impact?
If anyone can suggest a live CD distro with the same or a more recent
kernel, I'll happily test. The kernel could be the issue - I remember
how kernel updates changed the way knoppix was able to recognise and
automount firewire drives in earlier CDs (3.2, 3.4).

Thanks for the files, I don't see any obvious reason for the failure
yet, but still think that it may be a kernel problem.
Since ACPI and (L)APIC seem to be handled the same way, it could be a
bug in the ohci1394 module iself. Do you know if your firewire port
works with other linux distributions using the same kernel?
The boot option
knoppix acpi=force
for forcing interrupt detection & handling via ACPI could maybe be worth
a try.
