firewire debug help needed on iMac G3

[Andreas Tobler]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem with the firewire support with -CURRENT on an iMac 
G3 (powerpc).

Since svn r187993 I can not boot with built-in firewire support. I run 
into an endless loop.

I doubt that firewire did work with the revision before 187993 on this 
iMac, but at least I could boot.

I also know that firewire support on a G4 PowerBook works ;)

I isolated the endless loop to be able to have a look at the boot messages.

The modification I had to do is in firewire.c:

@@ -1726,7 +1726,7 @@
  	dfwdev.maxrec = 8; /* 512 */
  	dfwdev.status = FWDEVINIT;

-	for (node = 0; node <= fc->max_node; node ++) {
+	for (node = 0; node <= /*fc->max_node*/ 5; node ++) {
  		/* We don't probe myself and linkdown nodes */
  		if (node == fc->nodeid) {
  			if (firewire_debug)

(fc->max_node is -1, confusing me anyway, node is int and max_node is 
unsigned int......)

Now with the above modification I get these messages below while 
kldload'ing the firewire module. Note to Sean, your latest patch (for 
sparc64) is included here.

I think there is something wrong going on. But I do not know where to 
start debugging. These lines are different, missing, on a sparc64 kldload:

  kernel: splitted payload
  kernel: resCount=4080 plen=20 len=-4
  kernel: fwohci0: AR DMA status=8409,  skip buffer done

What are the places, numbers to take care of?

The interface is working fine when running under OS-X.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas
