I am interested in getting video from my DV camera.

I am having problems getting the kernel to recognize
the ieee1394 controller.

If I add 'device fwohci' to my kernel config file, I
get the following output when trying to build the
kernel (abbreviated version)

seka# make buildkernel KERNCONF=SEKA
...
