[iBook] Kernel Panic with Firewire Drive

[Ron Reames]

There is a well reported problem with 10.3.6 and external firewire 
drives.
My Fantom drive refused to mount.
I called their tech support and they sent me a firmware updater.
Incidentally, all the Apple support staff knew nothing about the 
problem and were no help whatsoever.

I suggest  you look at Maxtor's support page and see if they have a 
firmware updater or some other answer.
