Description of problem:
when loading dv1394 driver, the loading process fails with

[root@fali jacquot]# /sbin/modprobe dv1394
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/dv1394.o: init_module: Cannot
allocate memory
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/dv1394.o: insmod
