been released with support for current kernels.

The ohci1394 driver in drivers/ieee1394 initializes the OHCI-1394 controllers
to a working state and enables physical DMA by default for all remote nodes.
This can be turned off by ohci1394's module parameter phys_dma=0.
The alternative firewire-ohci driver in drivers/firewire uses filtered physical
The firewire-ohci driver in drivers/firewire uses filtered physical
DMA by default, which is more secure but not suitable for remote debugging.
Compile the driver with CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_REMOTE_DMA (Kernel hacking menu:
Remote debugging over FireWire with firewire-ohci) to get unfiltered physical
DMA.
Because ohci1394 and firewire-ohci depend on the PCI enumeration to be
Because the firewire-ohci driver depends on the PCI enumeration to be
completed, an initialization routine which runs pretty early has been
implemented for x86. This routine runs long before console_init() can be
called, i.e. before the printk buffer appears on the console.

1) Verify that your hardware is supported:

Load the firewire-ohci module and check your kernel logs.
You should see a line similar to
