firewire hangs system at boot

[bela.patkai at pp.inet.fi]

Thanks, this "nofirewire" option works, the firewire initialization is
skipped,  but at a later point of the bootup it starts to look for new
hardware  and  again the firewire hangs it... So, how could I skip the
search  for new hardware? If only once I could boot I could change the
kernel.
