Yes, saw that link. There doesn't seem to be much centos5-specific information
on the website, however, nor release info for plus. It seems like the trend
is for there to be a centosplus kernel released sometime in the future,
however I have an immediate need for firewire. Has anyone built or added
firewire modules to centos5?

A member of the CentOS team said yesterday that the release of CentOS
Plus 5 would be in a week to 10 days.  If you cannot wait for that,
you would have to build the kernel yourself.  Follow the steps in:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

When you run 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig', you need to set the
IEEE1394 support to m (module).  You would see this in the .config
file as:

CONFIG_IEEE1394=m
