Avid Xpress with Mojo refusing to work with main G5 firewire bus.
Avid Xpress 4.8.1 running on a dual 2.3 GHz Power Mac G5(Tiger 10.4.4) 2 GB Ram with Mojo. I’ve been looking all over the place online and I haven’t found a fix for this problem so I’m turning to you guys. The Mojo refuses to run when connected to the main firewire bus on the G5. It keeps stating that there is an unkown device sharing the fire wire bus when there is no other external firewire device connected. I’m not exactly sure if this is standard on the G5’s, but when I checked the system profiler it does state that there is an unknown device connected to the native firewire port.
I’ve installed another firewire card to the 8X PCI-E slot and the 4X slot and ran the Mojo through those, but when I’m running Xpress at full resolution the audio stutters on the timeline during playback. I’m guessing that this is because my work bought unsupported firewire cards(SIIG) or because the PCI-E slots aren’t segmented correctly to handle the Mojo. Wha happen?
We’ve just wiped the G5’s and did clean custom reinstalls(no iMovie, iPhoto, etc.) and optimized the system(disabling spotlight, dashboard, etc.) before we installed Avid and still I’m having this problem. We’ve installed Avid when connected to the Mojo and not connected to the Mojo, but the problem persists. I’m wondering if we need to upgrade to a later version of Xpress or if we need a firmware update for the Mojo…If you guys could help that would be awesome, because I’d rather not have an ACSR come in if it’s something just as simple as an upgrade. Or maybe I should just punch the G5 in the face?

had the same problem a while back with an Adrenaline. I Punched the G5 in the face. It stopped working immedietley. It was replaced by Apple by a unit that DID work.
HIT IT HARD.
