If I remember correctly this was an issue with 10.3.7 (or 10.3.6?).
I had this problem with a FW400 drive: it was working perfectly with my 
17'AlBook, but it would not mount on the 1GHz iMac (having the same 
configuration as the AlBook). Upgrading the firmware of the FW drive 
solved the problem completely.
