Public bug reported:
Both controllers are tested okay working on an Ubuntu LiveCD environment
(kernel 2.6.28-4-generic) and the old firewire stack.
New firewire stack works reliably only for the Ricoh (internal)
controller. The TI (PCI Express) adapter appears to work but then I see
repeated messages filling up dmesg.
I'm able to reproduce the issue exactly.
1. Boot
2. Connect storage device to internal (Ricoh) firewire
3. verify that it is working by running command # dd if=/dev/zero bs=4k
of=/dev/sdb count=16k
NOTE there are no error messages yet
4. Unplug storage device from internal (Ricoh) firewire, wait for it to settle
5. Insert PCIE StarTech EC1394B2 (TI) controller, wait for it to settle
6. Connect storage device to PCIE StarTech EC1394B2 (TI) firewire, wait for it
to settle
7. verify that it is working by running command # dd if=/dev/zero bs=4k
of=/dev/sdb count=16k
NOTE that there are repeated errors filling up dmesg

This is the most often case. Infrequently, when I boot there is no
problem using the TI firewire. After disconnecting and using the Ricoh
and then back to the TI again, there are problems.
