Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my firewire connection to the Western Digital 1TB
MyBook. The kernel reports this controller:

When I plug in the WD MyBook Drive I get the following errors in 
/var/log/messages:

Jan 30 14:11:45 tobias kernel: fwohci0: too many cycle lost, no cycle master presents?

And there exists no daX device in /dev.

FreeBSD version is:

FreeBSD tobias.universum.local 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Tue Dec 29 09:04:10 CET 2009     root at tobias.universum.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Does anybody knows this problem?

Regards,

tobias
