SCSI is shaky here, on a Powerbook G4 /2.6.10, too :)
Did you try to shut down the firewire modules, and then reload them?
Something like:
1:
modprobe -r eth1394 ohci1394 sbp2 sd_mod sg
2:
modprobe -r iee1394 scsi_mod
3:
modprobe iee1394 scsi_mod
4:
modprobe eth1394 ohci1394 sbp2 sd_mod sg

I had lots of problems getting alsa sound to work here:
Please:
Go to alsamixer, check the values for
"PC Speak" and "Auto Mut", write down the current values. Then start
toggling their settings by pressing "m": My default values here are
MM 00
PC Speak Auto Mut
Right now I changed them to
00 MM
PC Speak Auto Mut
and with the latter setting both the external speakers and the built-in
ones of the computer are enabled. If this does not help: Did you try
unloading/loading the sound modules?
In alsamixer: PCM is up?
The modules:
Here:
lsmod | grep snd
snd_powermac 48132 3
snd_pcm_oss 67940 0
snd_mixer_oss 23296 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 115128 2 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 29316 1 snd_pcm
snd 67992 11 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 11876 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 11620 1 snd_pcm
I just did
/etc/init.d/alsa force-reload
and it killed my whole sound system, including pbbuttonsd, as it
seems .. :) ... and only after restarting pbbuttinsd I got sound back
here, IIRC ... :
apt-cache show pbbuttonsd [Excerpt:]
" PBButtons is a program suite to handle the special hotkeys of an Apple
iBook, Powerbook or TiBook.
With this programs the keys for the display brightness, the volume of
speaker and headphone, the mute key and the eject key will do their job
as expected."
If I understand your next question below perhaps the fact you don't
have installed something like pbbuttonsd, or an equivalent for your
machine, might be a reason sound does not work as it should on your
machine: Anyone out there knowing more on that?

Like above:
I don't know your machine, so anyone out there knowing what
power/sound management tool he needs? Something like a pbbuttonsd
equivalent for Windtunnel? ..
Good luck

for reformatting the line wrapping, perhaps ... Sorry if it/I did ...
