Hi
I installed the new kernel, and suddenly the boot sequence hangs solid
when initializing the firewire module. Clearly something changed inside
2166 wrt 2149 for what concerns ieee1394/ohci1394/sbp2 initialization.
Can anybody confirm that the kernel is now initializing them
"immediately", like in RH9?
Anyway, on a Dell Latitude D800, Centrino 1.7 GHz, the only way to boot
with 2166 is either a) to physically disconnect all firewire drivers,
or b) put
alias ieee1394-controller off
inside modules.conf (still spits a lot of error messages about sbp2
devices just at the beginning of boot). Rebooting on 2149 does not
give any problem
Any help/comment particularly from RH guys is welcome.
Regards
Alfredo
