Diagnosing a bad FireWire port
Authored by: ajayj3 on Jun 16, '03 10:17:52AM

This sounds like what I was experiencing -- as soon as you disconnect offending device, processes seem to continue...

Merely having a device connected is preventing the startup routine to run, so the port might not be fried. You can always volt-test the motherboard directly to test the hype.

In your case, as mine, I suspect it's something that could be fixed by resetting the PMU.
