I have an AMD 780G board with onboard Firewire controller. 8-CURRENT
hangs at boot with:

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config
...

If I disable the Firewire controller in the BIOS it boots fine. What is
a good way to debug this?
