My money would be on the firewire card. Your symptoms sound similar
to those I saw with the onboard firewire on one of my systems. A
different FireWire card (WD one bundled with a drive that I got ages
ago) and the FW port on my Audigy sound cards all work great though
(currently using the Audigy's port in production).

Was this using Myth from src?... or running the lastest RPMs posted on ATrpms?
I'm running the latest "stable" (non-bleeding) RPMs, and have the same problems as Curtis.
My FireWire card:
Kouwell Model KW-1582V - (aka BTC 1394 PCI Card)
http://www.kouwell.com.tw/pr-m3.htm#1582v
If I recall correctly, it was listed in linux1394.org compatibility list at the time I bought it.
Thanks,
Dave
