ieee1394 still utterly broken in 2.6.7-rc3

[Felix von Leitner]

Is it too much to ask to at least revert back to the ieee1394 code from
2.6.3 before shipping the final 2.6.7?

Firewire was dysfunctional sind 2.6.3, and still has not been fixed,
despite several updates to the code.

Please, 2.6 is supposed to be a stable kernel, for people to use in
production environments.

Here's what happens with every kernel since 2.6.4:

  kernel boots
  finds firewire hard disk
  creates device
  boot sequence tries to mount disk
  computer hangs
  I pull the cable
  computer continues booting, just without firewire disk

It's an Athlon mainboard with VIA chipset.
