I had the same problem with Feisty. But I found a workaround: As Superuser I typed: rmmod sbp2 modprobe sbp2 This had no effect at all. Than I tried: rmmod ohci1394 modprobe ohci1394 Suddenly my firewire disk was recognized and the gnome volume manager happily created all the icons for every partition on that disk. After umounting them I tried to unplug and replug the disk: now everything worked normally. Side note: On my previous notebook (a Dell Inspiron 8000 with P III, on which I was running Debian 3.1 sarge until the display cable broke), firewire was never an issue. Mysterious.
