NOTE:
You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
blacklist firewire-ohci
or
blacklist ohci1394
there depending on which driver you DON'T want to have auto-loaded.
You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
drivers.
If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
directive, use either
install firewire-ohci /bin/true
or
install ohci1394 /bin/true
and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have
auto-loaded.

You should only build ohci1394 or firewire-ohci, but not both.
If you nevertheless want to install both, you should configure them
only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you don't want to
have auto-loaded. Add either
blacklist firewire-ohci

blacklist ohci1394

depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be
blacklisted.
