[ydl-gen] Firewire install question

[Steven Didier]

Hi Bill, 
Performing the media check and then cntrl-alt-F3 gives me:
Found USB controller ohci-hcd

No firewire controller found

module ohci-hcd not found

Module ohci-hcd yenta_socket not found



Those are the only lines that have ohci in them.
Thanks if you need more I can write down the whole output list.
