Description of problem:
eMachine T6000 AMD64 FC2 512MB

after upgrading from kernel 2.6.5-1 to 2.6.6-1-435 boot hangs kudzu (
checking for new hardware). Booted interactive mode with kudzu=n

Tried changing /etc/sysconfig/kudzu SAKE=yes, still no boot.

did a manual kudzu -s, and the process hangs. The reason is module
ohcil1394. ps -ax shows /sbin/modprobe -q -r ohcil1394. This is
hanging process kudzu. Temp workaround renamed module ieee1394.ko &
ohcil1395.ko and rebooted without problems. I have no devices attached
to the 1394 controllers.

------- Additional Comment #1 From Roger J. Allen on 2004-06-16

I had the same problem on different hardware and worked around it.

The quick tip is to try adding:

alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

to /etc/modprobe.conf and rename the 1394 modules back to their
original names.  Then after the next reboot, they will get loaded by
/etc/rc.sysinit, and kudzu will not have to try to remove the ohci1394
module when it probes.

Here's how I came to that conclusion.

When I read your bugzilla report, I decided to disable the "onboard
1394" in the bios (Soyo KT600 Dragon Ultra Platinum x86, NOT x86_64)
instead of renaming the modules.  I forgot that I had a Creative
Audigy2 ZS Platinum, which also has 1394 firewire.  When it booted,
kudzu found the Creative 1394 and configured it as fw-host0, updated
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf, and added the ieee1394-controller alias to
/etc/modprobe.conf.  While testing, I also plugged a BUSlink
DVD+-RW/+-R USB/Firewire drive into the Creative 1394 port, so that
may have had something to do with getting it to work.  In any case,
after that worked, I shutdown, re-enabled the onboard 1394, and
rebooted.  Then, kudzu found the Via 1394 and configured that into
hwconf.  The both show up in  dmesg as:

ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.1 (PCI): IRQ=[11]
    MMIO=[e9116000-e91167ff]  Max Packet=[2048]
ohci1394: fw-host1: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[10]
    MMIO=[e9119000-e91197ff]  Max Packet=[2048]

Those should be two lines beginning with ohci1394:

Notice that the Creative 1394 is a 1.1 while the Via 1394 is a 1.0.

I tested it a few different ways, and found that if the Via 1394 was
disabled, and the Creative 1394 was being used by the ohci1394 module,
that I could:

rmmod ohci1394

and the module would be removed.  If the Via 1394 was enabled in the
bios, then the rmmod would just sit there.  I could not find a way to
kill it, but the system was not hung, so either ctrl-alt-del or open
another window to shutdown.

So, it looks to me like the ohci1394 module has a problem releasing my:

00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 46)

but it works fine with my:

00:0b.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port
(rev 04)

If anyone needs more info, like lspci, dmesg, syslog, etc.  let me know.

used your work around as above, worked like a champ, thanks for the
help. Appears the module ohcil1394 does have a problem with the
onboard VIA 1394 (Texas Instruments|TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller) or
some type of mapping when you go from the kernel-2.6.5-1  and then
update to kernel-2.6.6-1. Set /etc/sysconfig/kudzu SAFE=no.

 Rebooted several times both modules ieee1394 & ohcil1394 loads OK.
Wish I had a device to attach and try both the TI & VIA 1394
controller. Everything I have extra uses USB devices, DVD RW, external
disks etc...... Anyway again many thanks for the help!!!!!
