2.6.24-16-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Apr 10 15:15:40 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Using a Firewire sound card (Focusrite Saffire LE, supported by FreeBoB) with the following Ricoh iee1394 interface (built in to my Dell XPS M1210)

03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
 Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01d7
 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
 Memory at ecbfd800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
 Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

produces an unrecoverable error in the kernel ohci1394 driver which kills audio output from the device. Relevant syslog lines

I've got $600 worth of kit sitting idle and it doesn't rate a mention?

It's an upstream bug on which nobody is working on. The problem is between the controller and how our drivers update its DMA program.

Have a look at http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-user&m=116463661930992 though. Would that be applicable to your setup?

Hi Stefan

I'm not sure it would be applicable - I'm using the realtime kernel which has PREEMPT...

In any case, is it fixable? I'd really like to use my Saffire!

Have you tried (in a separate, "throwaway" install) ffado?

Hi prismatic7,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 232490

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I know this hardware worked with jackd and ffado from jaunty, and still works in lucid.

Err, unmarking the linux task "Fix Released", as I realise that my firewire controller doesn't match. APologies for the bug noise.
