The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q329256

SYMPTOMS

You may experience either of the following symptoms:
  • 1394 devices do not enumerate when plugged into the 1394 bus.
  • 1394 devices can disappear from the 1394 bus when other 1394 devices are plugged into the 1394 bus.

CAUSE

The 1394 OHCI host controller driver contains a problem that sometimes prevents stable enumeration because it cannot acquire a consistent gap count across all nodes.
