I cannot find ispfw.ko. Some modules are loaded that I don't need. But I couldn't unload one of them. I tried "unload firewire" which unloaded the whole bunch of modules. Afterwards I wasn't able to load any other module. I guess that boot kernel is monolithic. Booting with 4.9 seems to be okay. It proceeds until SysInstall which I can't operate because of keyboard problems: the keys I press seem to be randomly interpreted and I cannot select any of SysInstall's menu options. It seems that 4.9 is somehow better than 5.4 for this machine but I need to get past the SysInstall keyboard problem.
