You could have that with ACPI.

Just compile with SCSI support. Under the USB menu, you have a 'USB Mass Storage support' entry.

You can try IEEE 1394, the correct driver should be OHCI-1394. Since I have no HW to play with that, I can not promise anything.. A final word: if you want ACPI for this one, you should go to http://sf.net/projects/acpi Try the latest patch. Alas, if your model is buggy in the BIOS, (and I know already that it is the case, actually) you should ask for help in acpi mailing list at acpi-devel (at) lists.sourceforge.net or ask me privately (but at ducrot (at) poupinou.org with a subject containing ACPI please).
