*/etc/sysconfig/rtirq*

RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc firewire_ohci" <- the only line I've changed
RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=70
RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=1
RTIRQ_PRIO_LOW=65
RTIRQ_PRIO_UDEV=70
RTIRQ_PRIO_DEFAULT=50
RTIRQ_RESET_ALL=0
RTIRQ_NON_THREADED="rtc snd"


rtirq status seems really odd to me, but once again I understand very 
little of this…


Thanks !
