Hi,
You might want to look at this
problem a bit more closely.
I ran nVidia/firewire for quite
awhile, and no problems.
Suddenly, all of my hardware is
acting up, and making bootup, and
shutdown misbehave.
Something - is soaking up
resources, and it's not necessarily
driver conflicts.
Keep an eye out for parasites,
when software that you think ought to
be OK, starts getting finicky
