You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
22
-
you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
23
-
modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
24
-
of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
25
-
26
-
blacklist firewire-ohci
27

or
28
-
blacklist ohci1394
29
-
30
-
there depending on which driver you DON'T want to have auto-loaded.
31
-
You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
32
-
drivers.

34

If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
35

directive, use either
36
-
37
-
install firewire-ohci /bin/true
38

or
39
-
install ohci1394 /bin/true

and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have

auto-loaded.

If you also build ohci1394 of the classic stack, blacklist either

You should only build ohci1394 or firewire-ohci, but not both.
61
+
If you nevertheless want to install both, you should configure them
62
+
only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you don't want to
63
+
have auto-loaded. Add either
64
+
65

blacklist firewire-ohci

blacklist ohci1394

blacklist video1394

blacklist dv1394
70

71
+
to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
72
+
depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
73
+
blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
74
+
75
+
If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
76

directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be
77

blacklisted.
