I have tried the Presonus Firebox today with Hardy and it looks like this:
the interface is recognized as needed and I can initialize it for jack
like this:
jackd -R -v -r96000 -p512 -n3 -dfreebob
it starts and shows its ports and I can play and record with Ardour.
For about 5-10 Minutes - then it dies.
So basically the device works so far but it is not usable for real work.
Quite sad a thing: on 64Studio the very same device works flawlessly for
6-7h-sessions with bands. I had some high hopes, that 8.04 could bring
the same stability to Ubuntu also but it didnt.... :-|
Besides: Ardour took 99% System load with a session, I can run smoothly
on the very same Laptop with 64Studio...
So in short: 64Studio seems to be the better audio-distro -
unfortunately it has revealed some other nasty flaws to me like
especially inconsistencies in its repos. Ubuntu is much better on this
so it would be great if I do not need to switch. But I invested too much
in the Firebox to just shrug, especially as I KNOW the device works fine
with Linux...
Any solutions out there? :-)

Firewire trouble on 8.04 too
Hi Hartmut
What IEEE1394 controller do you have? (sudo lspci -v should list all devices - look for IEEE1394)
What does the verbose jack log say?
Is there any error shown in syslog?
I found that I could get my Focusrite working (briefly - I discovered hardware problems with the Ricoh chipset were ultimately to blame) if I removed the dv1394 module which was autoloaded...

Sure. Find out the difference and tell us so we can fix things.

Not much - the crash is *not* accompanied by an xrun
> Is there any error shown in syslog?
tail -f /var/log/messages
shows nothing special

Ah -thanks - maybe there is a hint...
I have tried Suse/JAD now and it also works OK with the interface and
Ardour running at 96KHz - the same crash I have in Ubuntu in aprox. 10
minutes I have here in one h - but running the distro from a
beta-labeled LiveDVD...

I found hdparm is not running by default in Ubuntu - could this be a hint?
