Comment 0 for bug 981936

When trying to boot using kernel 3.2.x kernel the screen just goes blank and harddisk IO stops.
Removing the quiet and splash options in combination with nomodeset seems to reveal
that the booting stops due to an error in setting the firewire's power levels (see attachment)
Kernel 3.0.x work fine.

ps
