I just got a Compaq Presario 2500.  The 9.1 install hangs in the
graphical installer with the following on the screen:
'installing driver for bus/firewire card Texas Instruments|TSB43AB21
iEEE-1394 controller (PHY/Link) 1394a-2000'
The 1394 is builtin and can't be disabled in BIOS.  Is there a
workaround; such, as a kernel parameter which'll disable loading of the
driver?
Thanks
Roger
Try the "linux noauto" to bypass the hardware detection.
