41comment "Texas Instruments PCILynx requires I2C" 37 You should only build either ohci1394 or the new firewire-ohci driver,
38 but not both. If you nevertheless want to install both, you should
39 configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you
40 don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either
41
42 blacklist firewire-ohci
43 or
44 blacklist ohci1394
45 blacklist video1394
46 blacklist dv1394
47
48 to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
49 depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
50 blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
51
52 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
53 directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be
54 blacklisted.
