I've not got this problem, but I have different problem with firewire,
maybe there is a problem with the driver.

I've got several external disks, if I boot with them all powered on, they work fine.
However, if I switch them on one at a time after booting, allowing for XP to recognise each one,
only one of them works.
i.e. switch on disk1 - it's OK
switch on disk2, it's OK, but disk1 becomes unavailable
switch on disk3, it's OK, but disk2 becomes unavailable (and disk 1 is still unavailable)

I've uninstalled SP2 and it's all working again (and I'm now on 5.1.5235.0)
I didn't check the version of 1394 after the SP install.
