IEEE1394 fails on the make install after building custom kernel. It was setup in .config just fine.
The ieee1394 modules are Very Broken (TM) in the current upstream kernels. Even if it installed properly, you'd run into serious problems at run-time. Ben Collins is yet to merge some of the recent fixes from the subversion tree into Linus' kernel that we pull from, but even then, the code would still be broken. My personal recommendation is to take drivers/ieee1394 from kernel 2.6.3 and drop it into the current kernel tree. That's what I've been doing to get my external Maxtor HDs (5000DV and OneTouch) to work.
