Severn doesn't like my onboard 1394 controller, but RH 9 worked

[raxet]

Here is something of interest. Tell me if I should post bug report:

I installed severn over the top of RH 9 Shrike

I had to disable my Onboard 1394 Controller on my Asus P4PE mobo to 
first get past the following error using any install from CD:

"loading sbp2.o"

Just wouldn't go.

Finally installed severn by disabling 1394 onboard in bios.

Now here is the rub.

If I "Enable" 1394 in bios and reboot after install, I get the following 
messages in sys log:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading sb2p.o module
SCSI0: SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices
blk:queue C1993014, I/O limit 4095 mb mask 0xffffffff
IEEE1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's where it hangs, dirty shut down required

Go figure??

Here is what lspci shows after clean boot without 1394 on board :
