Probably won't help. Something is wrong or broken in the kernel (it
would seem). I would have to try to build a new more recent kernel, it
is in my list of things to do but I don't have the time right now. 

Did you ever try commenting out the 1394 module alias in
/etc/modules.conf (so that the automatic initialization of 1394 does not
happen)?
