Looking at the list in the Extensions window of ASP in 10.3.9, I see five obvious kexts (IOFireWire ...). A Mac with a currently attached external FireWire HDD shows (only) IOFireWireFamily as 'loaded'. In the same circumstances, the eMac shows none of the five as loaded. The strange extension (NPI) of that is that the eMac can still boot from a bootable partition on the external LaCie d2 despite that none of the LaCie's three volumes shows as mounted on the desktop. Muses: is the problem merely 'cosmetic' rather than functional?

Where is Alice when we need her?
