[Dell Latitude E5520/E5520M/E6520] Firewire hdd is not automounted

[Marc Legris]

Attaching an external hdd through firewire does not result in the drive being autodetected. Dmesg is showing a timeout:

Marc -- Is firewire a core component of the certification test? Also like the sd card bug, can you try mounting firewire after a reboot without the sd card attached. They are both O2 micro based chips.

@Chris

Firewire will not automount, and I'm still seeing the firewire timeouts in demsg

[Chris Van Hoof (vanhoof)]

Note that the this machine is using a o2micro sd card controller, as well as a firewire controller, both of which are reporting failures in Natty:

sd bug: hhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/777321

Support for a few o2micro devices was brought into 2.6.37, we'll need to see if sdhci-pci can properly support this device:

E6520 has the same issue with the same 02 micro card
