make moduels failed on linux-2.4.21-15.EL for ieee1394 module

[Yasushi Okubo]

Thank you for the information.  It is finally compiled, but the newly 
created module did not work .  I am not sure if it is caused by the 
compilation or module itself.

I am trying to install ieee1394 module to support firewire disk from 
EZquest.   I could compile with the recommended steps, but  when  I 
installed  ieee1394/ohci1394/sbp2 modules,  I see  the following error 
from dmesg and cannot find any firewire device under /proc/scsi/scsi.  
When I ran /rscan-scsi-bus.sh script, it also does not find anything:

Has anyone found a way to make firewire disk work with WS3.0 ?   

Thanks,
yasushi
