firewire scanner problems with 2.6.21.x kernels

[Joseph Sacco]

An Epson 2450 Perfection scanner with both USB and firewire connections
works well using either type of connection when running FC6 [2.6.20.4
kernel].

When running fedora/rawhide [2.6.21.x kernel] the scanner works well
using the USB connection but has problems when using the firewire
connection.

With firewire and the 2.6.21.x kernel:
* scanner is recognized
* scan starts and then hangs

/var/log/messages indicate that connectivity/registration of the
firewire device has been lost:

Apr  4 09:46:38  plantain kernel: scsi 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device


Can anyone else verify this problem?

please fill a bug f7 uses a new firewire stack that might still have

Thanks.  The old firewire scsi driver (sbp2) driver has a couple of error 
handling cases that still aren't in the new driver, I think it's a matter of 
just moving those over.  I'll try to take a look.
