Reinstalling fresh

Fri Apr 29 03:58:08 UTC 2011

The bios doesn't give me any options to change it., lspci gave me  :
JMicron Technology Corp. IEEE 1394 Host Controller, 	Kernel driver in
use: ohci1394 Kernel modules: firewire-ohci, ohci1394
Is there a way to adjust irq settings to something that would work better?
