[SOLVED]Cannot mount firewire hard drive

As of today I can no longer mount my firewire hard drive which has a singe partition formatted as ext2 or 3, I can't remember which.  I used to mount it with:

pmount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1

but now

dmesg |tail

shows that it is showing up in /dev as fw0 and fw1

but

pmount /dev/fw1 /media/fw1
Error: /dev/fw1 is not a block device

Is there a way to mount it?  Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot mount firewire hard drive

What changed since the last time it worked? Did you update some packages, changed some configuration files?

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot mount firewire hard drive

Did you reboot after updating your kernel?

Woops. How embarrassing.  It's been one of those kind of weeks.  Thanks.
