LaCie firewire disc not detected (until I reboot)

[Per Thomas Jahr]

I've just bought a LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme firewire disc. The
problem is that FC3 can't detect the new hardware when I do a cold
start. But when I reboot, the disc it is detected and auto mounted. If I
do poweroff and then start the machine again, kudzu tells me that the
disc has been removed again. It's consistent behavior - I always have to
reboot to detect the disc. Really strange...

I've tried to rmmod the sbp2 module and doing modprobe again but it
remains undetected. I also got a DV-camera connected to the firewire
host adapter but this has remained off during the testing with the
firewire disc. 

Great if someone here could help me out with this.

Some info:

uname -a:
Linux delphi 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 #1 Tue May 17 20:27:37 EDT 2005 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

I think this is the relevant part from dmesg:
