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.
