[G5] Firewire Kernel Panic - 1.8 Ghz. G5.

[RR]

It's possible the cable is bad, I'd be happy if that was the case.  I 
run my video camera out the back port with no problems (come to think 
of it, I don't think the camera worked in the front port).  If the 
front port is whacked I would just slap a 3 port fireware card ($9.00) 
into it and call it a day.  No point in giving apple $800 for a mobo 
swap.

Be nice when apple starts shipping the Intel macs, then mobo swaps 
would only cost $200 from apple ;)
