Hi,
As far as I remember kernel-module-firewire was never included in official SL. Maybe I put it once
on a LiveCD.
Do you need firewire support on this hardware? If not I would just uninstall all firewire related rpms.
rpm -qa | grep firewire
rpm -e .. .. ..
Afterwards, yum update should work.
If you need firewire support. You still find the kernel-module-firewire in the PSI repository
http://linux.web.psi.ch/dist/scientific/4/psi/current/
However, the repository lags behind the kernel version of SL. I don't see
kernel-module-firewire-2.6.9-78.0.17.EL-1286-5.sl4.psi.i686.rpm there. I'm no longer responsible for
this repository. But you may want to ask Marc Gasser from PSI for the latest kernel-module-firewire.
Cheers,
Urs
