Firewire on B+W G3 Rev1

Hi,
I've got a B+W G3 (revision 1, 300 and 400 MHz), and I've been having
trouble getting firewire to work with the standard YDL kernels (2.4.20-8d
and 2.4.20-8e).
As it turns out, checking /proc/pci gave:
Bus 1, device 0, function 0:
FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCILynx/PCILynx2 IEEE 1394 Link
Layer Controller (rev 2).
IRQ 21.
Master Capable. Latency=16. Min Gnt=3.Max Lat=4.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x80882000 [0x80882fff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x808c0000 [0x808cffff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x808b0000 [0x808bffff].
which suggests that the Rev1 B+Ws don't have OHCI-compatible chipsets(?).
So I got one of the latest ppckernel.org snapshots (2.4.24-ben1-tss) and
(using the 2.4.20-8e config) built the kernel and modules, adding the
pcilynx and i2c-bit-banging modules for firewire on this machine.
At this point, the ieee1394, pcilynx, raw1394, and sbp2 modules all load
fine, but the dv1394 and video1394 modules fail (depend on ohci1394). I
think I need the video1394 module to export video to firewire (in kino, at
least). Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,
Henry
