I have a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard on the machine I have been developing on for a couple of years. It has the VIA 6307 firewire chipset on it. I have been having problems that persisted longer than anyone else.
I have since turned off the onboard firewire controller in the bios and replaced it with a Stor card (much later VIA chipset) and my problems appear to be gone. I cannot easily decide whether the older socket 478 motherboard or the chipset is at fault. It could be lots of interrupt stacking on the onboard chipsets. I just cannot say. My suggestion would be if you have this motherboard, do not use on the onboard controller. If your mobo or plug in card has a VIA 6307 chipset in it, do not use it. With these things costing between 10 and 20 dollars, it is not like a $500 sound card. Get rid of the problem before it starts and get one of the Agere chipset cards.
